We loved the J31 / 32 / 41, they were for ever in strife in Qld
Performance limited, too hot, too heavy, out of balance, couldn't carry the gas, no water meth available or simply broken down
One classic ex Moranbah / BN the J32 couldn't carry the load ( about 9 ), we had a few empty seats so we topped up the King Air 350 with the mining execs who had a international flight to connect with and had them in BN 90 minutes later. The J32 went via Rocky for fuel with the left over pax. Pax on both aircraft were from the same company and the flight was organised by a broker who had the top execs in the modern airline style J32. The top execs were regular paxs on the 350 from then on. Where is the modern J32 now, gone but hey its about to be replaced ( different operator ) with a modern airline style J32, whacko. But its all too late, in coal its tough at present and the Dash 400's rule supreme in Qld.
