Oh yeas! B777-300ER rules! This is my favorite airplane model on my mini-airport.

A visitor from - posted Fri December 25, 2009:
Great shot! One of these aircraft has beauty, style and grace. The other is an Airbus.

A visitor from - posted Thu December 17, 2009:
Here, the 777 seems to lower the A380 a peg or two in the size stakes, length wise anyway.

And please no more talk of the British flag. The Union Jack plus Southern Cross equals the Aussie Flag!

I go to Sydney Airport all the time and never have had such an opportunity, great job!

A visitor from Canada posted Sun March 1, 2009:
Wow, 2 beautiful aircrafts together, despite being competitors! Anyone noticed the very subtle British flag on the 777 near the red tail ? Great shot indeed!


***

Its not a british flag, the australian flag has this icon in it which is called the union jack. So V Australia has the entire australian flag on the back. It happens to be the british flag, but that is not the intention with V australia placing it there.

The beauty vs the AIR(beast)BUS... I vote for 777. :-)

A visitor from - posted Mon September 7, 2009:
Nicely done Sam. It is indeed the beginning of a new era. I remember when the quartet of QF 744s was all you used to see at LAX.

A visitor from - posted Mon August 24, 2009:
How charm, two great aircraft in one shot, two big birds in one place, the great Airbus A-380 and th Boeing 777 (long version), a sight that everybody must admire.
Thank you.

A visitor from United Arab Emirates posted Mon March 2, 2009:
I sense a little competition! Yes I noticed the British flag near the tail, in gray but I think its atualy part of the Australia flag! (Note the stars on the tail)

A visitor from - posted Sun March 1, 2009:
I was hoping it would be QF A380 versus QF Boeing 744. That would be such a rivalry themed photo shot...

Nice picture... QANTAS..... :D

A visitor from - posted Sat February 28, 2009:
All the factors are aligned -- perfect position of photographer, good sun angle, and I assume a certain degree of luck having these two airliners in close proximity.

A visitor from United States posted Sat February 28, 2009:
Oh man! I'm putting this one on my short list of favorites! Classic side by side rivalry! This picture says we're from the same continent but yet we are rivals!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat February 28, 2009:
Wow! who knows what this will spawn? v australia on the kangaroo route?

A visitor from United States posted Sat February 28, 2009:
Well, this photo is really cool as I was literally sitting inside the Qantas A380, 'Nancy-Bird Walton' that day, 27 FEB.....going to LA as QF #11, seat 53K. ;-) I saw the V Australia 777 parked the night before...beautiful.
