I guess its the 18th then, the one closest to the fence will be departing the following day to Jakarta, if/once the one going down to jandakot happens. I guess its due to the FAA playing games again!

The maintenance crew who Nathan and I talked to said that it was likely a combination of the wind coming from the wrong direction, and the smoke haze providing reduced visibility. (As soon as Jandakot Tower opened at 8am, they immediately declared it to be restricted VFR with visibility at only about 4 miles).
So ... all the people on the hill near the cafe will just have to try again Friday

Well, we headed for breakfast and then I came in to work. Nathan then hung around at Jandakot so he could sit there and not have a flight at 11am due to the haze

It is very dark.
You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Doug,
The real reason it did not eventuate is cause the crew are not even in Perth to fly it!
