News: May 2008 Archives

On Friday 30 May 2008 in the early evening I heard NAVY 7 callsign on the scanner in the Adelaide area. Later on I heard a Fokker flying overhead and raced outside to grab a photo. Unfortunately, I was too late. It had already gone too far over. I did however notice it was an F27 not the usual Fokker 50.

The only F27 I know of at Adelaide is a NAVY F27. There are photos of it in the gallery.

I don't know if anyone can confirm this but if you can, please use the contact form and let us know.

I believe this is the only F27 still registered in Australia.

Listening to the scanner on Saturday night a little spot of weather came into Adelaide from the north west. A few lightning strikes were recorded in the Gulf St Vincent. The weather came in over Glenelg and Noarlunga. The rain band was not that big but it had some heavy spots accoring to the weather radar.

We will be introducing an Audio Section. Here you will find audio of different types of aircraft, ATC radio comms samples and more.

Who knows, we may even have an interview or two.

 

Keep watching for updates.
