Looked very elegant as it flew over the city today. Camera is broken so could not get any fotos sadly. I got a good look one of the Singapore air lines one at Syndey airport while i was waiting when i was over the earlyer in the year. As we were taxing to the runway we went past it and it dwarfed our plane which was a 767 if i remember right.

I've seen it quite a few times in Sydney and more of the Singapore Airlines ones there prior to that.

Here's a photo through two layers of glass from the departure lounge at Sydney Airport



It was taken on Tuesday 2nd of September, the Singapore Airlines one comes in quite early about 6.30am and leaves about 3pm. They park it away from the terminal during the day.
