VISUAL HIGHLIGHTS (Singapore 222 SUPER)

Making way to 16R as a Qantas heavy 767 touches down..
"182 @ 23 ... cleared for take off 16R ... 'SINGAPORE 2,2,2 SUPER'.."

Vr, Rotate



My traditional tower pose..

As graceful as this looks, it was the opposite.  Very choppy ascent..
Finally above that mess downstairs and into some sunshine!

Something I don't like...  It's 15:45 (3:45pm) and the sun is already setting.  I hate winter...

The beginning stages of our Australian cross country voyage..

A very steep bank as we descend and prepare our path to Singapore's 20L..

Gear down and final for Singapore's 20L.  This is where it gets exciting - air stability wise..

Down our path to the runway passengers were holding on to their seats.  The closer we came to the ground.. the choppier the conditions became.  It was actually one of the most challenging and exciting landings I've had with this aircraft.

The moment of truth...

Touchdown!



Yes, we didn't make the centre line..  But cheers to an awesome and challenging landing!
