Reports from the West of the wide brown land indicated the 300 series with a full load would hand in its resignation at FL250.

The girls were good serviceability wise for us in general as the LAMEs learned to get one step ahead of them, but terrible on keeping block time.

In a 3/2 config, the comfy punter sipping good Aussie champagne didn't seem to mind.

I think I would rather a fumes in cabin incident than an uncommanded rudder deployment on an aeroplane I was riding.

I am trying to think of one loss of airframe through structural or control failure, but cannot think of one. Please advise if anyone can correct that.

All in all a good beastie despite the warts. F28 Pilots who moved up to them considered them an airborne brick, but they did the job very nicely for the SLF.

Best all
