Braz, I should have said "I wouldn't have been surprised if it HAD been Fox"... I knew it was XUE... but all the same, like I said, I remember XUF being a POS at the best of times... Maybe they've worked her out by now
Everyone else beat me to it, Wiluna best probable option at the time for all the abovementioned reasons. Also easier to co-ordinate rescue flights/mx from Wiluna rather than the mine site, that can be great fun especially in sh!t wx and the phones are down..! It's a pain in the ass to have a u/s aircraft keeping the mine stip out of action for the best part of a day while the gingerbeers do their thing...
Media camps, ah yes, fun days those are! All the pax will start with the "But I don't want to fly on that deathtrap" etc etc. Well now with how much they hate the M23 and this one that just leaves the Dash hey!!
I bet RF and his crew were having kittens while this was going on! Almost makes me nostalgic.... almost
