Finally, some decent weather, on-time arrivals and free from Covid travel restrictions meant that I could shoot a few airliners at our international airport. One that had evaded me for quite a while was the Air India 787-8, so very happy to capture it in good light. Likewise the -9 Scoot. The bonus for the evening was the Qantas -9 which I had not realised was inbound from Dubai(?). The remainder are a couple of local types that I had not yet photographed. All taken with my Canon 5D MkIV and Canon 100-400 MkII. Thanks for viewing and I hope you like 'em.

Re: Melbourne's Tullamarine International (UPDATED 08 Feb 22).
Quite a few Chinese airlines have been making unannounced arrivals (have not appeared on FR24's arrivals list). I suspect that they are not carrying self-loading cargo but are freight flights. Whatever the reason for their arrival, I was pleased that I captured a few reasonable images. Thanks for viewing.

... and a few more from today. The early evening light was sublime. Thanks, again, for viewing.

... and a few more from a trip out to the airport to catch the EuroAtlantic triple ER. This aircraft has ben conducting flights between Santiago, Chile, and Melbourne, via Papeete. The lowered window shades tend to indicate that it is a freight flight. Also, an ex-Silkair 737 and a plus version of the SF340B. Ta for viewing!

The first Euroatlantic one is stunning

Thanks for the comment!
A Silkway West 747-800 was substituted for (I think) the usual Atlas-operated cargo flight from Honolulu to Melbourne, so I quickly drove out to the airport to catch this rare visitor. As a bonus, Xiamen Air reverted to their 787-8 equipment for a flight that is usually operated with -9 aircraft.
Hope you enjoy them and thanks for viewing. Please feel free to offer critique.
