Blastoid,

When we told the FA we had to go back to MYB and HBA she didn't believe us If you were working 129.00 last night you were spot on with the weather at MCY.

The final revenue flight was scheduled to be CQ7037 (HBA-MYB-BNE) but due to the Metro preferring to stay on the ground in BNE, the final revenue flight was CQ7038 (BNE-MYB-HBA).

So after 21 years the Shed is gone from the QLD (and OZ) skies.

SEG will be heading to Denmark at the end of the month and it will be converted to a freighter, which is a bit of a shame as it is the lowest time Shed in the world (just hit 10000 hours).

SEO will be heading to Africa, and will continue to carry passengers for a few more years.

The retirement of the Shed as also lead to the retirement of Bill F, Bill has been flying the Shed on and off for 21 years and he has accumulated over 8000 hours on them. Bill will now sit back and enjoy life from his boat in HBA.
