Well they are pretty accurate most of the time. They used to be religious coming in at 12pm on the monday but most of this year its been anywhere between 9-1230...1220 yesterday. then it overnights then leaves the same time(give or take) for alice each tuesday and then back and form memory its a 2pm dep on wednesdays. unless of course they go tech, which a kc-10 did a while back was here for a good2-3 weeks...had to bring in the C-5 with parts etc. But yes usually the same time each week.

might go out tomorrow avo and see it leave.
most of this is from when i listen to atc or PP more recently but i used to go out there and watch it...before i had to go to uni!! haha

and was it anyone here on monday giving me the weird looks!!! lol

If you go out this arvo Gerald, I may see you there as long as it departs around about 2pm I should be able to go out. When I go out there I park at the qwestern end of the runway where all the buildings are and I will be in a red Toyota Corolla. Hope to see you there.

Dont worry it was not there when I went out. The only thing I saw was a freak Bike VS Car accident coming into Richmond. I saw the bike rider lying down on the side of the road with paramedics defribulating him

Never a good sign
