Road trip anyone?

Just pack some shark repellent for those R&R days.

Looks like a tough (er) day forcasted tommorow for the folks down-under.

I was looking around southern Australia for any tanker trips…
Didn’t find a tanker… but sure found some straight flying!!!

Seems they use tiny little IR ships.

Coulson aviation has 138 which is the icon at Richmond and a c130 that came off Newcastle headed to a fire now heading to Richmond. Conair 165 is to the west of the c130 heading north.

Copy. I did find that unmarked c130 flying. I figured it was fire related.
