Comment by Garry

"The fuel used for this mission is higher due to incredible delays on departure and arrival at Bankstown due to traffic out of Sydney (dep) and weather/storms (arr) as well as 4 major diversions around severe thunderstorm activity across our track on the way back. We were sharing the zig-zagging with Dash 8's and B737's, so we didn't feel alone!! All passengers were none the wiser and all went extremely well given the weather conditions. To all the Angel Flight crew...........a very happy and healthy 2007. Cheers, Garry Crowhurst (VH-OMZ) "
