Good seeing right now in SE QLD? Did you check skippy? Looks like you guys are getting the same jetstream we're getting. Could get away with it at short FL maybe.

It was -7C here an hour ago :eyepop:

My better 9/10ths bought me one of these: the heater element is in the back, just over the wearer's aorta (the largest blood vessel in your body).

Highly recommended!
