Back in the olden days when pilots were sort of respected, Ansett painted CZF up in Air Van colours when we started flying their services on the weekends.
During the week she'd do normal Ansett services.
Y'orta seen the pax when they got out to her. Heads wagging looking for their plane and then closely inspecting the cockpit windows to ascertain the hairstyle of the drivers.
At CB one morning a business man busted into the cockpit when he got to the top of the front stairs and demanded, "You Australians?"
Captain didn't look up from the omega we were checking but just answered, "Bloody oath mate"
Pax took his seat happily then.
