Reputed at one time to be the operational Islander with the highest recorded number of cycles on her.
Wouldn't surprise me
RadioSaigon. About 6 or so weeks before it had a major **** of the RH engine which put it out of the air for a period of time,
P2-SAB which was formerly
P2-DNV (and I flew it under both reggos) was reputed to be one of the highest time BN2's in PNG still operational
at that time
At the time it had
in excess of 16,000 hrs and
well over 30,000 cycles on the airframe.
Exact figures unknown to me.
And I was flying it back from Kamulai when the R/H engine shat itself!
Bikpela taim!
