This morning, @SenKatyG and I toured the site of the future Western Sydney Airport to see the progress being made.

Hotel lockdowns, passenger-less flights, and frequent testing: That's the new normal for pilots in the pandemic. Several tell @CNN what life's been like these past months, and how they've been navigating nationwide restrictions.

Please don’t fly your #drone in or anywhere near #bushfires—it could cost you up to $10,500.
Creating a hazard to firefighting aircraft may also result in two years jail.
