Sunday Morning at the Airport

The last few days aircraft traveling west to east over Australia have been experiencing some amazing tail winds pushing their ground speeds up to over 1100klms per hour and that is fantastic for the airlines. Well the same cant be said for the east to west bound aircraft as they are facing incredible head winds; so the Qantas flight from Dallas - Sydney has had to divert to Brisbane two days in a row simply because of fuel shortage. I found out last that the new Qantas livery A330 QPJ (that I saw in Sydney) and Qantas 8 was coming in; and the fact that Brisbane doesn't get Qantas A380's except on diversions; I got up at 4 am and at 4.30am headed off to the airport (via Macca's for breakfast).
