Ansett DC9's

I flew the 9 for Ansett in the early '80's till they were retired in '82. I cannot ever remember operating CBR-BNE in it. From memory all BNE flights ex CBR were via SYD. We operated plenty of CBR-MEL and CBR-SYD though. You have to remember back then (30 years ago) BNE was a backwater and the airport was Eagle Farm which was small and basic. There was nothing like the traffic today. I just don't think there was the demand for CBR to BNE direct; however I may be wrong.
