Holiday/Flooding delay

Regular readers will know that NZ Aviation Notes has been based in Brisbane for the past 2 years.  I would like to take this opportunity to let you know that updates have been delayed so far this year, due to holidays and now also the flooding.

NZ Aviation Notes and the blogger have not suffered any personal damage/loss from the flooding.  I send out my thoughts, prayers and support to all readers, friends and Queenslanders who have been affected by this disaster.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Etihad Airways for donating $1M to the Premier's flood appeal.  Virgin Blue and Qantas have also donated to the appeal, and both airlines have waived change/cancellation fees on all tickets to/from QLD or for people affected by the floods.

I work a few doors up the road from the Virgin Blue HQ in Bowen Hills and am unable to work due to there being no power in the area.  We were unaffected by the flooding but the Virgin HQ wasnt as lucky, and as a result the building remains closed with staff unable to return to work.  The below photo was taken yesterday.  I took it with my mobile so I apologise now for the quality.
