Someone said earlier the F28 and PNG flying were a perfect combination. How absolutely true. Flying VFR circuits at most destinations due to no nav aids, all that power and that awesome speed brake to help fix the profile, short sectors and plenty of them to perfect your manual flying skills and being young and flying for the love of the job... those are my memories of my 2.5 years command on the type before sadly transferring to the transport fleet.

Doing visual circuits for RW 12 inside the caldera at Rabaul was always one good way to end a long day and work up a thirst for a bevvy at the Grotty Yachtie. It was a magnificent machine that still remains my most favourite episode of flying ever!!
