And just WHO gave Good Ole FS the 'coup de grace'..??
Us pilots did. While cheap coffee and Arrowroot biscuits at Ceduna, friendly faces and flight plan "marking" at Devonport and genuine assistance at Bankstown were great things, Flight Service was redundant years before it ended.
Sorry Griffo, we as pilots never really needed it, it just took Dick to point that out. Hope your redundo was good though
