Atco-matic,
You wrote "Apparently a plane taxied off the taxiway in the early hours this morning onto the grass near 27R rendering it unusable... anybody know about this?"
Can I say with a handle like yours, unusable grass would indeed be a problem. Was your dilemma solved?
Sorry!!! My English, or Strine as it's sometimes know down here, is not always the best.
Cheers from a sad Oz today after yet another ***** transport tragedy.
