Yeah I got the elevation of Alice wrong after too many reds but it doesn't change the poor implementation of 717 s into CBR
Poor implementation of the 717 into CBR?

You're having a lend, aren't you!

How about this other 'poor implementation'?


Could it be a DC-9-31, parked at Canberra?

If it had -17 engines it might have put out 16,000lb thrust max.

23% less thrust than a C-modded B712, or 14% less than a standard donk B712.

Amateurs! No wonder that airline disappeared from Australian skies - thirty years later!!

Are you telling me that a souped up DC-9-31 with 2,500lb to 5,000lb more thrust per donk, can't better what an Ansett-ANA diesel nine did in 1972?

nor the nefarious way it's been operated as Qlink but with Cobham crew
Nice to hear your 'professional' opinion of me and my mates.
So you think the Cobham B717 boys and girls should have been undercut by pilots on the 'single aisle jet' rate?
