Question

I'd be interested in hearing about their handling characteristics- particularly on approach and departure- with the surfboard on the back. Whilst I recall hearing that they had tanked the thing of a US tanker (KC10?) it would also be interesting to hear how the surfboard impacts on the aerodynamics of that exercise.

Who is the RAAF using as the drivers? Are they transferring experienced 737 crews across from the BBJ or have they started afresh?
