Omega inbound Cairns

Gerard M · #1 8th February 2010, 04:50 AM

Morning all,

just a heads up to anyone in the Carins area there are two Omega tankers due in this afternoon. Both the DC-10 (Omega10) and 707 (Omega71).

Dragging something along with them no doubt, will be interesting to see what comes through.

Cheers

I hope the brakes are on...that 707 looks like it's going to just slide right off the tarmac.

They are both enroute to Williamtown as "Omega 71" and "Omega 10" due to land around 1:30pm.

Cheers for the heads up Tim
