Re: O'connor Flying To Port Augusta

Hi Pinky

LNC became THE spare parts bucket for ASA. The seats ended up in FNP I think, and there was a rumour that the body would be trucked to ASP and be placed in Airnorth's hangar there.
If LNC was used, it was well before Airnorth took over, as the Chieftains were used for the mail run Sat/Sun, and using EMB110 would have meant overnighting the crew, at a cost.

Apache The Bandits loads Mon and Fri I would say were not 100% full, perhaps on the odd occasion. And to the average punter a Conquest is a Chieftain is a plane with 2 engines, 1 driver and you have to crawl in to get to your seat.
