It's getting into the jetstream which is doing all the work and moving it this way! The first cloud is nearly gone and risen by about 6,000ft now... but a second cloud is inbound and that is much lower at FL150... so really promises to cause havoc! Most operations are back to normal for the time bei...

Is now 2/3rds of the way around the planet and causing havoc here and in NZ. From 0900z all major Australian carriers have suspended operations from Melbourne Intl and Avalon Intl in Victoria, Launceston and Hobart Intl in Tasmania. NZ is virtually shut down as the cloud covers the entirety of the c...

Its certainly MUCH better decked out than the last PA32 I sat in the back of which had the ORIGINAL 1960's era dash and avionics to boot! N...
