good work, this site has needed a pic of this quality for some time. I added one of the pics you submitted. Wiki ian 11:21, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I have taken some pictures of aircraft at Hobart. I have uploaded one of a QF73H at the terminal. Image:QF73H HBA.JPG

Can anyone provide a picture of the airport from Tower Hill to provide a good view of the terminals and runway? Wiki ian 08:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:HBT DFO.png

Image:HBT DFO.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Inaccuracies

The top text mentioned that Singapore Airways used 777 equipment into HBA, theres no chance it was a 777 it would not take off fully laden. It was a 757 charter aircraft. 220.253.104.162 22:05, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

On the exception of the Airbus A380 any passenger plane in the world currently operating can land and take-off at Hobart airport, this is confirmed on their website. Also The Boeing 767 (which is comparable to the Boeing 777 in size) has landed and taken off fully laden many times from Hobart airport. Also if you look up Singapore Airlines you'll see they have no Boeing 757 planes in service. Wiki ian 05:48, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

The 757 aircraft was chatered for the flight and was not a SIA fleet jet. The 767 is not comparable to a 777 as the later is far heavier - the MTOW for a 767 is 142,800kgs and a 777 is 247,100kgs. A 777-200 could land at HBA but they have never tried to - any other varienat could not as their take-off run at MTOW is too far, the reference to that on the page is a blatant misstatement - please report times, airlines, and dates of 777 take-offs and landings at HBA and I will beleive you. An aircraft of that size would be newsworthy in Hobart but I have never heard of it occuring, either has Australian Aviation magazine . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.178.238.12 (talk) 01:21, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

A Singapore Airlines 777-200 and indeed a Qantas 747-400 have both landed at Hobart and there are pictures of them at the airport at http://hiapl.com.au/gallery.php. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.201.218 (talk) 03:11, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
