Just as well the Capt was not Capt Zero. If you told him 1 kg over, a
kg would have been found to off load.

Good old FNU, the ex French F27.

Your 68 with a few personal effects would have been ok. Ops Engineering did all the sums for 128 on the F28-1000 and 312 on the B727-200.

Prior to Tracey the AN record on the F27 was 60 school children on a local flight at ASP with Capt Cr....... K....

I did 46 between WNY and LST due to an overbooking ex KNS.

They were the days you could do what ever you liked without any problems from the company and DCA/CASA whatever they were.

I also liked flying VFR between WNY and DPO and vv well below the LSALT over water in the Viscount and later in the F27.
