I would recommend watching Nine News Sydney's Twitter Ariel Record of this day from their News Chopper Vh-TCN.
It Runs for about 48 Minutes but is Just Lovely.Around the 25:30 mark i thought she wanted to stay in Sydney but she got going eventually!!

Out of interest,YSSYs control Tower was commissioned in 1996.Still Looks fairly Modern i guess?
Don Ridgeway
Beautiful shot Mike, and yep really sad, but whats worse for me is where she goes from here, not how she should finish her life of faithful service.

Thanks Don,there are rumours that G.E bought the 6 for future service.they are all refurbished and the only pax ERs ever built.fingers crossed!

Everyone stopped to watch-even the truck under engine 3 and driver (in safety vest) just behind engine 4!
