Aeroplane watching: Perth airport viewing platform

Posted on January 2, 2012 - Filed Under General, Inspirational, Personal, Technology

Hi Boz, its been a while since I added anything either my life is too boring or I have been really really busy 🙂 However I did do something interesting the other day (ok I think it was interesting) I had to go into work during my holidays to make sure the printer still works (thats not the interesting bit) while it was running through its cycle I read a local paper and came across an article about a new viewing platform at the Perth airport - "the Perth airport viewing platform" oh I thought that sounds interesting, and seeing as the airport is on my way home kind of nearly almost if I go the long way I decided to take a look it is on Dunreath road, a road too new for my map book, but easy to find by following the large brown signs it joins the international and domestic terminal by going around the outside of the runway unfortunately I didnt have my camera 🙁 but I enjoyed watching a few planes come in and land ( I didnt see any take off) So, to make a long story not quiet as long as it could be I went back again the other day camera in hand, with the 300mm lens this time the runways were operating in the opposite direction (must be something to do with the wind??) but I did get a few photos of planes taking off, and a number of different types of planes. so here are a few photos:-

I am not that much into planes that I know what is what but a bit of a search on the net helps me out first off I found a map that shows incoming and out going flights with some plane information a link with types of aircraft and a couple of links with airports Searches and ICAO ID I have more photos on my web site and hopefully I can get back while I am still on holidays to get more photos 🙂
