Orions can't air refuel.
That why it is 4-5hrs out and back and about 2hrs over search area. They have 2 merchant ships in the search areas. It's a pity that the the new HMAS Canberra hasn't been commissioned yet as it could be used as a floating helo base within the search area. |

A couple private aircraft involved today, Vh-TGG again I think and a G5. Both are in the area now I understand.
Apparently the weather is pretty good today, hopefully it helps! Cheers M

VH-ICV (Global Express) & VH-LAL (G550) are also helping today! I heard that a Chinese Air Force IL-76 is enroute to Perth to lend a helping hand!

Yeah I was just looking a bit more into it and realised TGG seemed to be on the ground!

All this activity reminds me of the successful search by the RAAF and RAN for Tony Bullimore and Thierry Dubois when they went missing in waters far to the south west of W A during an Around The World Yacht race in January 1997.
Lets hope that the search for MH370 has a similar result. |

Interesting flight plan for VH-TGG yesterday - Depart Perth, fly for 11 hours and only make two left turns, then return to Perth - all the time keeping your eyes peeled.

ABCNews24 reporting that Chinese Satellite images found a 22x13m object in the ocean 120km SSW of the earlier Australian image.
A new target for sunrise tomorrow morning |
