G'day,
Thought some of you old F28 boys may be interested in this news taken from <a href="http://www.flightwest.com.au" target="_blank">www.flightwest.com.au</a>
*********************************************. .For those with a sense of Aviation history the TSV-BNE flight on 30th March 2002 will be the final F28 service operated in Australia (and the last Australian commercial service of a Stage II aircraft).
The flight will be Captained by Roger Barnes who also has the distinction of captaining the last F27 RPT service in Australia.
(We have already booked Roger for the last F100 service in 2020)
The proud history of F28's dates back to August 1969 when MMA in WA leased VH-MMJ short term from Fokker prior to the introduction of their first F28 FKA in 1970. ( FKA was scrapped in BNE in 1996).
There is plenty of life left in the FWA F28's and we all trust they will find a good home.
Thank you for supporting Flight West
. .Regards. .Cabinboy
