That same Captain with Doggy ID also held the unofficial record from OOL-BNE (old airport) ,I believe it was 9 minutes airborne, on The Norfolk Island flights with a 45 minute turnaround he was known to organise a car to be ready for his arrival, drive to the local beach, swim and arrive back on board at the last minute, the F/O was left behind to prepare for the departure and our Capt. would slide into his seat with the A/C door closing behind him commanding "start 2", with another on time departure!!
Also memories on the SYD-YLA flights if arriving early, to do a lap or two of the rock for the benefit of the pax, Japanese tourists loved it.
