I was searching through youtube last night and came across this great video of Ansett-Ana in the 60's. For those of you who were around then it's a 20 minute story about a flight plan for a L188 flight. The Crew were: Capt. Kev McFadden , F/O Peter Smith and F/E Bill Fedricks. I had the pleasure of flying on the B7272 with these guys and they were great to be with. Kev McFadden was a very senior Capt , at one stage he was # 1 on the seniority list for quite a few years.
I did my B727 school in 1965 and flew with the most senior and " old timers " of aviation and heard some incredible stories about flying in the 30's from some of them. Wonderful aviators with truly great Airmanship.
Peter became a senior B727 Capt. and Bill was a very long time serving F/E.
It's a great video shot at Eagle Farm and shows the old DCA Flight Planning Buildings , the Ansett-Ana Igloo Terminal and of course the L188.
It sure brought back some very pleasant memories and I hope it does for some who were around then.
