Well ... I can also recall at Coffs Harbour, during my flying training, mixing it with the "flying bananas" .

Some of you may remember the days when the F27s were painted .... canary yellow ... I guess as a visibility enhancement. Well, it worked. I never ran into any of the Flying Bananas as they shot in along the coast.

The standard procedure between us (newbie learners) and the banana drivers was ... " I'll stay over the water, if you stay over the land" . Worked a treat in the Coffs AFIZ days and made us feel really proud, as ... we were "mixing it with the big boys".
