He said they didn't seem to know how to go about finding good locations, which he thought was strange.

Hi,
Just think i'll add to this a little since you guys found this thread. This was actually me who met these guys. First of all, I don't work at Sydney Airport, Im just a keen aviation photographer.
Purely from an Aviation point of view,if you were working and doing a shoot for Qantas, surely they would have told the guys where the best spots were. There were 3 guys together, 2 Americans and an Aussie - The aussie guy was driving. The claim that they were looking for good landing and departing shots, but then saw them filming pretty much anything that came in - Qantas/Jetstar/Virgin Blue and Internationals.
The vehicle also had some cards and id's on which were a tad strange for just a crew filming for Qantas, and that they had no approval to be on airport premesis... Just didn't add up!

Thanks for the follow up. It certainly does sound like the Amazing Race cameramen. I'm slightly surprised they didn't ask for permission to film but I guess keeping the race a secret won out. They probably just figured they needed 10 second clips of take offs and landings so it didn't have to be the perfect shot.
I seem to have ruffled a few feathers with my comment about the joke about sending the bags to Perth. I'm not going to register over on that forum just to reply, but you can tell them that I took it as a joke and chuckled. It would have been a funny prank to play on the TAR production crew (they probably wouldn't have found it funny), but I knew it wasn't serious.

I cannot find any more charter flights from Broken Hill either today or tomorrow. Rex are the only airline that flies to Broken Hill to Sydney, Adelaide and Dubbo (another regional town).
Therefore, unless they go on one of the limited scheduled flights, I cannot see them using Broken Hill airport again, so maybe a long self drive in a car or a train to their next destination.

Adelaide is the closest large city.
