Moonee Ponds International Airport(YMEN)

Okay PPruners must be a few stories that can be told about Essendon Airport.

Nothing like standing on the tarmac and watching Oscar Victor Mike taxi out and take-off on a cold winter's night for one of the Gooney Bird flights.

The arrival and depature of a Learjet, or Citation or Gulfstream always looks impressive agianst the backdrop of Melbourne Skyline whether it be day or night.

The days of the mass departure by the Penguin flights, was always a way to spend a lazy afternoon, when the Doves, Navajo's, Cessna C402 would be heading off to Philip Island with the Japanese tourists.

Whatever happened to Skybird?

Fond memories of doing Link Training with Keith Hants while trying to unravel the mysteries of the ADF and holding patterns!

The night's of Ipec's Argosies going back and forth across Bass Strait.

The Disco in he main terminal.

Over to you Captain Wally, Fly-Spike and any other ppruners must be a few stories to be told.
