Funny you should say that, I have experienced TC's in YPDN and YBCS, and in Darwin last time, the only plane on the GA apron was MMA (hardy's DC3), that cyclone was a fizzer about this time last year. I took a drive at 2300 last night here in Cairns, and counted close to 20-30 planes on the tarmac, including shiny new caravans and a number of twins, not just the 'derelects'. I know sunstate and ****** ferried planes outta here to Mt Isa I believe, only 2 heavies on the tarmac (2 x B727), anyway it's a different attitude over here in Cairns I believe. No hysteria like Darwin "lets pack the kids and head to Katherine". Raw memories perhaps of 30 years back... Anyway it wasn't too bad here in Cairns where I live, few roofs flying around the place, I just hope everyone is ok in YIFL. Take it easy guys!
