Where did the TAA Twotters go? Is this one?


Pelita (Nearest two aircraft) had 103 fixed wing aircraft... they were a helicopter operator. We thought Oz had large fleets. We'd never heard of Pelita.



Each time an aircraft arrived to increase the fleet there'd be a huge ceremony involving dozens of influential people a feast and a blessing of the new aircraft.
Indonesia is pretty fair religion wise so there were three clerics to bless the aircraft.
Muslim, Christian and Hindu. Each tried to out pray the other coves and we'd all be standing out in the hot sun while they went on and on and on.
Musta worked. I didn't hear of a 737 prang. Plenty of others tho.
