Cool Memories!?

Interestingly enough, of the four TAL C336's, -CMY was the best flyer. The C336 flew nose-up while the C337 flew nose-down. In the C336 it depended on the rigging and -CMY flew "level". However, the loss in payload [you can all stop laughing right here!!] with the weight of the swing-door conversion meant that -CMY wasn't a good producer of revenue.

OTOH, having had "possession" of -GKY during the Chimbu upgrade, I'm gobsmacked at Tinnie's shot of her in that avant garde livery!! I can't believe that it would be viable to do a job like that on such an old airframe.

G'day
