Two Ansett 727's were painted in the East West scheme. B727-200 VH-RMN and B727-200LR VH-ANE. ANE had in addition,the 'Casino Advertisement' including a dice on the fuselage. We called it the 'Green Shift', Ansett pilots with East West Cabin Crew. The Cabin Crew were some of the nicest crew I've ever worked with, efficient, friendly and some real characters. Country people I guess.


Ansett flew a 146 on the route, bouncing through the cloud tops miles below at around Mach.068. The passengers hated it but loved the 727. Strange arrangement all said and done.
