That's one smart looking bird! Qantas' A330 'long-reach' run was done with extra fuel tanks, wasn't it? The stop over in Goose Bay sounds like a rationale decision. No need to push the range, no need to risk even stronger head winds and end up in Thompson, MB or Iqualit, NT. Goose Bay is nice this time of year I hear. ;-) Matthew On Saturday, May 10, 2003, at 04:25 AM, Alastair T. Gardiner wrote: > Hi, > > It was indeed a delivery flight.
