Notes:

On 31May2018, new RAAF Boeing P-8A Poseidon A47-007 Cn 63187 (the James Bond Poseidon!) did at least ten orbits of Canberra Airport and nearby suburbs at about 10,000 feet AMSL. Photo taken with a 600mm telephoto lens from my backyard, south of Woden Plaza. I haven’t been able to photograph RAAF Poseidons at their Edinburgh SA home base, but several have visited Canberra – providing local photo opportunities. Thanks to Maritime Patrol Group for convenient P-8A tasking. Blue Skies!
