Dear Captain,
A rather interesting statement, given the aircraft we have had off the end of runways in Australia, and not just foreign operators.
Back in the G.O.Ds, if my memory serves me correctly, Ansett had two in one day, one was 24 in Perth, don't remember the other, maybe Mt Isa.
I could also quote a number of cases involving Metros etc, but we don't normally include such in our safety stats, to preserve our "world renowned" safety record.
As for Sydney, we have had large aircraft of the end of 07, 25 and (now) 34L, DC-10, B747 and B707 respectively.
- -----not happened here and never will.-----??
How many airlines operate in and out of Australia??
Tootle pip!!
PS: ATC in USA is funded by passenger head taxes for airlines, and a fuel excise for the rest ---- it is not free. For a person who is allegedly in US, 4Holer seems to be quite remarkably lacking in knowledge of the US, aviation-wise.
