Yep, and ditto to us bugsmashers as well. Last Tuesday out of BK the weather was way worse than the forecast suggested, and as we all know.....you can't go over it on O2 because of Willytown R space, can't go lower due LSALT, can't go right, can go left but only by getting into some clear air and VFR scud running.
Had I known what it was really going to be like I would have planned via Bathurst and Dubbo - Moree etc.
Ohh well........
PS: and on a funny note, I had an SMS from a mate this morning and it said......Hey Jaba, I got my amphibian endorsement today. I did it on 16R in SYD. If it stops raining I'll extend the gear and taxi to the terminal......
