It didn’t actually land in Sydney.

[Sean L]

It didn’t actually land in Sydney.

Hmmm a diversion due to weather?

[lloyd fox]

On numerous occasions when it was planned to fly Wellcamp to BNE it showed up on all Air traffic plans as if it was to land at BNE,however it would do a funny missed approach,which never took it anywhere near the runway at BNE.

I guess it was doing the same thing for SYD.

It does appear to be based at BNE now also not WTB?
