On the 'other hand'.....What was your 'Slowest time'....??
Dep SY for a ferry to WA in a C-150 with a 'howling' westerly which caused a change of runways due to a 'dry' front which raised all the dust etc ......and a change of Rwy whilst taxying for a dep on '34'....which was a 'pain' for a '150'....From 'Flight Facilities' apron...
Dep Rwy 25 and on climb, achieved 1,000ft by the intersection and 1,500 by the ITB (Int Terminal Bldg)....although I had advised the TWR and turned off the RWY hdg to the right to allow a NZ DC-10 to dep behind, I was not
'RADAR Identified' at that time....so the DC-10 had to wait.....and wait....
A 40kt westerly was then blowing at the time and had vehicular traffic on the Great Western H'way going better than I was.....got to Katoomba and had to divert to Bathurst for fuel.....for the next leg...
(17 May '75, VH-TCP...from ye old log book...)
Got to YPJT 4 and a half days later....took all of 4 and a half hours back on the then 'T-Jet'....
Dems was de days....
Cheers
