Great catch Robert

Thanks :)

Got out to the airport but VH-LAL was on the runway and did quite a few takeoffs and landings at Wagga but finally headed back to the terminal tarmac.

Another good catch Robert, I still haven't managed a shot of VH-LAL.

The VLAT has been tasked to Victoria, its first job, which is ironic given Victoria in the past saying they are not worth the money!

Edit - It's actually the LAT (C130) under call sign Bomber 132

Thats politics for you, which is a shame. Both LAT and VLAT have their roles and will never replace Helitak (light, medium and heavy) and the bombers (Air Tractor), which each having their own roles.

VLAT is also heading down.

The VLAT has now launched as well. VH- LVG (Aerocommander) launched ahead of the Herc and DC10 and is coming on station, acting in FAC (forward air control) capacity by the looks of it

Holding patterns in all directions this morning, the change in the weather probably hasn't helped ...

Looks like Sharp Airlines (VH-SWK) Fairchild Swearingen SA-227DC Metro 23 operated a Bathurst 1000 charter. Though the weather made it bit of a challenge to arrive. QantasLink and REX SYD-WGA flight diverted to ABX, though REX didn't land at ABX and re routed back to WGA. QLink remains on the ground at ABX.
