Thanks for the link Bernie. Nice shot........love seeing the snow at Paine Field like that!

Off topic but the Air Canada service has been cancelled. Don't know if the snow storms in the region they are having has anything to do with it.

Are we still looking at an Australia day arrival. If so does anybody have any arrival times.

I realize it is still miles too early so I dont expect any replies to that last bit.
