See a French A332 CTM-1011departing Vancouver prob bound for New Caledonia down the Pacific that France has declared an emergency.
Strange that France Mil always stops way up that way to and from Pacific and France..

Haven't heard of New Caledonia since old McCales Navy TV show

Yes, I don't how much I can get today as I have to take my wife to a doc appointment, but I'm planning all three days beginning tomorrow morning. I just got an email from the base PAO saying that as of now, no disruptions in the show are expected due to weather.
