UTR,

The Qantas aircraft came from SYD and it arrived in the ADL area before Virgin and held to the east. As I said in my post above the Virgin aircaft, diverted towards Mildura first and the Qantas aircraft left it's holding and followed about 5 mins behind Virgin, but some how it landed first in Mildura. I'm not knocking any of the crews (Qantas and Virgin), I'm just stating what the radar (via Flightradar 24) showed. There must have been a reason why Qantas landed first, which should come out in the ATSB investigation.

Based on what we all know at the moment, I say well done to all crew.
