My dad flew the F27 for ANSW, finishing with some 26,000 hours.

I remember him going to Holland to the Fokker Factory to receive an award for the highest flight time pilot on F27's in the world some 19,000 plus hours.

He still kicking at 91 and retains a keen interest in aviation be it through his son.

As a side note when the F50 was introduced to ANSW I can remember the amount of money the local Citation operators use to make taking engineers out to fix the fuel control units that continually broke/ went US.
