The prophets of doom are left with egg on the face this time. Australians 412 has been back on Horn Island for over a week now and better than new - literally. The machine is flying better than it ever has. The 5000 hr inspection is a credit to everyone involved. Chook and his team at Redcliff lived up to their reputation for excellence and a few of the engineers and support staff from Australian can take a bow too. The entire exercise shows what can be done with careful planing and quality people.
If you don't believe me then ask the people at Horn Island. That's what I did.
