Re: Lack of fuel forces Qantas jet to land in heavy fog
This is interesting. What is the alternate for Perth? RAAF Pearce? But this would be fogged in too, but okay for other emergencies. KGI runway is under 6000ft. GET, 6500ft? and these are both far away. Albany also under 6000ft. I mean its a long way to Adelaide!

Apparently the alternate is Learmonth...er thats 2 hours north...makes you wonder.
