Afternoon Plane Spotting at RAAF Base Williamtown!

23.4k Neruneten21  10 months ago

Here are some pics that I took earlier today at RAAF base Williamtown

aka, Newcastle Airport

There is quite a few photos, give it a minute to load.

E-7A 'WedgeTail'















C-27J 'Spartan'







B737-800 for 'Virgin Australia' Airlines






Me after realising that the E-7 is just a 737 with a dish on top

C-130J 'Super Hercules'






Personally, my favourite photo:

The day:

Today at Williamtown was quite windy, as it was I believe even to Sydney, hearing on the car radio as I drove up there "Sydney airport limited to 1 runway after extreme 70km/h winds." Many of my photos are thrown off balance as the wind pushed me around a lot. However, it was a beautiful warm day with not a cloud in sight!

A note from me:

I was quite disappointed to learn how I had missed a training session of 14 F-35's 3 hours before I arrived bruh moment but I still enjoyed the day. I am going again to Williamtown for an airshow in I believe September (or i'll go earlier if I can), I will take some photos of the F-35. I have a pic of my F-35 on my old laptop, i'll have a look later!
I took many more photos than this, 79 to be exact! But I couldn't be bothered to put 79 images in a single forum post.

A message to mods

    @Neruneten21 Great to hear you’re coming to the Williamtown Airshow 2023, also great to see an online raaf supporter. Sad to see the hornets go

    Fake Australian planes. They don't fly upside down!

    Very cool
    Love seeing the wedgie with the surf board.
    I live further south where the closest based are point cook and east sale so I don’t get the chance to see RAAF stuff bar a few PC-21s here and there.

    @WADA I took these photos in a 1.5 hour period at a regional airport. Also, the F-35's were done for the day.
