Ch 7 News,

Nil damage / nil injuries reported and acft was pictured being towed off the beach.
Well done that man..!!!:ok:

does it belong to Qantas?

Yes apache, it does. They have just replaced the fleet of A380s with GA8's.

well... the bean counters will be happy. they burn a lot less fuel than the 380!

Airvan......?

From the brief glance I saw as it flashed on the TV i could have sworn it was a Savannah....ie RA Aus style.......

Very similar indeed, I can see the mistake!
