Yep, i know EMO well. Mate of mine used to look after the maintenance of her. Helped him tear her down and put her back together one year. Beautiful machine, probably the best maintained aircraft i've ever come across, there wasn't one part of her you couldn't use as a mirror. Flew something like 1 hour every morning and 1 hour every everning with an 11 seat interior (i think).
But back to reminiscing about YMEN, i used to love sitting up on that balcony with my CPL studies out working thru notes. I didn't even train there! Such a shame when that went off limits. Walking out to the end of those walk ways and watching Shortstops DC-3 lift off 35 stands out. Talking my way into GIV TGG, just walking up to Executives hangar and asking if i could have a look around "yeah, no worries, just take your shoes off if you go inside any of them". Oh and best of all the 727 that came in every year for maintenance Romeo Mike Something. Gold!
Shame how it's changed in the last 10 years.
