Sydney to Canberra seaplane route to be examined after test flight next week

[jb747]

Wot?? How does the plane move after landing if there's no propeller in the water?

Thrust from the chemtrail nozzle.

The trial flight yesterday seems to have gone well. This was in today's Canberra Times:

Historic seaplane landing on Lake Burley Griffin could signal bold new way to travel

The National Capital Authority says the "regulatory path is clear" but the demonstration flight is needed to test...

Apparently there would be 3 CBR-SYD round-trip flights per day. The first flight out of Canberra in the morning would depart from the airport (but not the main terminal) as the seaplane can apparently not takeoff from the lake in foggy weather (an issue in winter). Likewise, the last flight for the day would arrive at the airport as the seaplane cannot land on water at night.

Flight time to Sydney would be an hour, and if successful they apparently would also like to start flights from Canberra to Jindabyne and the NSW South Coast.
