I thought the 7373 had been down your way as well. I saw it a couple of times last week popping into Canberra for retardant top-ups. It has such a lovely scheme.

Just as an aside from that, one of the Sky Cranes went down in Gippsland today....ended up upside down in a lake. Thankfully, all the crew managed to get out.

the 737 hasnt showed up on flight radar.....i saw the herc over home heaps of times this weekend...and one of the two RJ's late today.
Damo i heard about the skycrane accident early this evening....sorry for the loss of an airframe but so happy the crew got out ok.

Sad to hear about the loss of that Skycrane, but relieved to hear the crew are OK. Reinforces just what this work involves.

Absolutely no need for any kind of LAT or VLAT up here, we have a lot of the other fire control system going on
on the downside I was planning on going to the Rockhampton Model Show this weekend, but things are looking like that won't happen now
had 90mm of rain in the last 24 hrs

There is always the Inland Route (and you get to visit the Model Shop in Emerald).
