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 ...
