Saturday 22 Feb: Global 7500 N117TF arrived from Palm Beach Florida via Honolulu this morning, and this would have to be one of the best Corporate Jet liveries I have ever seen. The aircraft was painted & completed in Oberpfaffenhofen Germany, in the General Atomics Aerotec facility, by airbush artist Igor Amidžić, and the level of detail in this "Space Theme" is just incredible. The artwork on each side of the aircraft is different, with the port side having the Moon on the tail, and the ET Bicycle Scene on the winglet, while the starboard side has a Comet on the tail, and Starship Enterprise on the Winglet.

Wednesday 14 Aug: The Australian Olympic Team arrived home this morning from Paris via Perth, and their Qantas B787-9 Dreamliner VH-ZNH taxied straight to Hangar 96, where Family, Friends, and the Media were waiting to greet them. Once the aircraft was inside the hangar, the doors were closed, and the celebration began. What a treat to welcome the Athletes home, and congratulate them on the achievements.
