Qatar 28N dumping fuel over Port Philip Bay

[Dr Smith]

Just wondering if anyone knows the reason?

Spotters are out in force tonight...

No, not a spotter. It’s unusual to see an A380 over Mentone at 5500 ft....
It was a tad louder than the TV with Conan the Barbarian ... I was rudely interrupted 😜😜😜😜

Same, brought my daughter home from a party and it passed Hampton twice...and there is mention of dry ice cargo on board if I heard right.

[Alexander Scutt]

He is dumping fuel.

Same. I heard it fly over our house in Ivanhoe, and have been watching it since.

Guess it’s worth remembering for the crew...Stalactites is open 24hrs 😂

Good ol trusty Autoland to the rescue. Where would Pilots be without it! Forget the hand stuff the thing can land itself! Increased gear risk aside!
