Yep, I'm going to do it again- drag out my photos to get a couple of posts out of them! In all fairness, these were taken over a couple of days! Its been quite some time since my last post, but I have some good excuses (what's new??). The biggest excuse though is our little trip away (just because this is entitled "The Plane! The Plane! doesn't mean we actually flew anywhere though!!). Nanny had the kids for a few days in Brisbane with her- they went to Disney on Ice and visited family all over the area (including Uncle Johns dogs- which Master J says he never wants to see again because that's all Miss K wanted to do!). But I thought I would organise some time away for JBV and myself- because that's just the kind of nice, loving fiance I am! ;) And, I thought it would be a good excuse to get some photos! I organised Saturday night off for JBV without him knowing, snuck some spare clothes into a suitcase, and we hit the road! Our destination- Brisbane Airport viewing area!! I found this area while picking Master J and Ma up a few months ago from the airport. Its unreal! You're so close to the planes taking off and landing- I love the raw power of the engines revving up and then letting loose for takeoff! I was acting like a little kid- especially when the pilot was waving to us from his cockpit!! ;) This is just a very small sample of all the photos I took. We saw so many different planes from all over the world in many different sizes! A formula 1 ETIHAD (from Abu Dahbi..??), Air Pacific (Fiji), Air New Zealand (ummm....from New Zealand??lol) and of course the regular Qantas, Virgin Blue and Jet Star. But there were also some 'special' paint jobs, including the Virgin Blue AFL plane, and the Jet Star Powderfinger plane- painted in celebration of their final Sunsets tour, which they played on for several charities. But my favourite? The HUGE Qantas plane that taxied out just before we left! This thing was gigantic! And sounded beautiful! You could hear the difference between all of the Qantas planes compared to the cheaper planes like Jet Star- a bit alarming really! But this was the start of our trip away, and JBV had no idea what was coming!
All photos at my FLICKR page are much better quality!
