I think a lot of you are forgetting that the flying changes over time. When I was flying in the Reims out of Darwin it was rare to do a pure coastal run. It was normally 50-100nm offshore. Perhaps they're being used more coastal now, I don't know, don't really care. It does have a very good radar though, did they forget to tell you about it Gav? Did you not notice the little black hump under the belly?
