Saw the owner of that aircraft stand up underneath the wing one day & hit his head on the tiedown ring - knocked himself out cold & I had to administer first aid to the gash in his scalp! Despite my protests, after he recovered somewhat he got in it & flew it back to Adelaide.
He was also VERY protective of the parking spot outside their hangar at PF, enough so that after a neighbouring 310 pulled up there for no more than 2 minutes with engines running, he tried to "board" it to give the pilot a serve as it taxied out. Nearly caused himself an injury that day too.
Anyway, I digress. Still remember those Air Eastern machines doing the ADL-KSC-PLC-ADL for a stint in the late nineties. Must have been interesting crawling head-first into the cockpit over the boxes of crays. AEQ and XAE were two of them.
Sorry, looks like it's been covered
