I was actually rostered to fly Ansetts last ever turbo-prop flight, a sku charter to Cooma, but came down sick!
Loverly aircraft and very fond memories.
I still think there is a niche for the F50 in Australia still. Could they be converted to fight fires in the summer? We will never know as Alliance sold them all (five F50s in their fleet).
