V Australia flight experiences Turbulence - ambulances meet it at MEL

[Undercover Brother]

The fact that I mentioned 2 aircraft and not 1 should give a pretty strong hint as to what occured!

Well on QF2051 today taking off from MEL we did a left turn as usual heading for Bass Strait but then did a hard turn right and headed for ADL and rate of climb slowed.A little later a DJ jet went overhead heading east.We then made a long left turn and increased rate of climb.But it wasn't that close.

Um... Instead of backing into a wall (for the third time), Virgin backed into a military aircraft?

This incident now reported on The Aviation Herald
The report says there was no food poisoning and injuries to 4 pax and 4 FA's from turbulence, which were not serious enough for the Captain to divert

I literally laughed out loud. Now I feel ridiculous becuase my cats are looking at me like I'm crazy.
