The Conquest was somewhat quicker than our previous aircraft but most managed the transition comfortably including regular operations from ASP to ADL & MEL all year round and the usual wet season adventures in the Top End.
The golden years of NT aviation, new Cessna products direct from Wichita. Even 10 years later they were still great aeroplanes.
