Sunfish.
Are you the same Sunfish that announced a few weeks ago that you were leaving PPRuNE forever?
Maybe your earlier decision was the better one?
And just to put it right. As a Sydney based crew member my logbook shows a large number of Melbourne directs north and arrivals where we transited Melbourne and onto Sydney.For example, we flew daily MEL- HKG and another B747 flew daily SYD- HKG. Indeed I was on the crew ex MEL that did the last Qantas ever into Kai Tak.
But what would I know, I only flew the patterns?
