Yeah!
Hard to believe I took that pic 22 years ago. And the -9 is still my all time favourite....... I can remember departing Mackay/Rocky on some early winters morning in the fog .... after lining up and counting and reporting to the tower that we could see the required number of runway lights .... and leveling off just on top of the fog top, accelerating in almost absolute silence and tucking the slats and flaps away on the way to 300 kts or thereabouts before pulling up into the rising sun for the climb.........
or managing to pull of a greaser from a Flap 50 landing.... etc.etc
