Hobart lunch - 11th Oct 2025

[DejaBrew]

I generally find Flighty to be quite accurate, but in this case, I sincerely hope they’re massively wrong….

 

[RooFlyer]

JQ719 also down OK. Winds and visibility are improving according to Windy AFAICT

 

[Dantas]

Perhaps a good case for aerobridges at HBA!

 

[DejaBrew]

AFAICT

The situation is improving….

I see QF427 has departed SYD.

I see QF427 has departed SYD.

Quite literally just pushing back from the gate now. Only another 12hrs 2mins till MEL (according to Flighty)

At this rate, who knows

That’s a long taxi

 

[DejaBrew]

That’s a long taxi

27 minutes in total. Have also been advised it’s a long flying time for this particular flight for some reason.

Oh, and Flighty has finally come to its senses and decided we’ll be arriving in MEL at 10:42am.

Is that normal?

Glad the cough weather is this weekend and hopefully will be nice for me the following weekend

 

[RooFlyer]

Is that normal?

Occasional. When the wind blows very strong and it rains very hard. Like today. Complicated bit of the house above the leak, so haven't been able to find the source/entry point.

 

[CaptJCool]

Wet wet wet

 

[straitman]

Got to love the apparent temperature.

Also wind is very close to all crosswind at HBA.

In case you’re wondering why I’m rugged up like the “nook of the north”

QF1293 is finally taxiing to the runway route to HBA. Pretty full flight with both the Tasmanian Tigers and Tasmanian JackJumpers teams and support staff aboard.

Boards in MEL were lit up like a Christmas tree detailing all the cancelled flights today, especially LST and DPO.

 

[CaptJCool]

That’s the Spirit

For those of you who’d like to do a tour on the Spirit, more tickets have opened up for Saturday. I did the tour in around 35 minutes
