A lot of history in the old bank run business, goes back to the days of Wilson Aviation, Clark Film Services, Avtex, The Aviation Centre, Tamair, Newcastle Aviation etc. Lots of variety in aeroplanes everything from Mooney's, Piper Arrow thru to MU2's and the Metro.

A number of lives lost over the years, low time pilots high performance aeroplanes, pressure to get in at all ports regardless of the weather.

The old bank run roster of long days, split shifts and a hotel room in a country town.

Plenty of guys and gals spent the down time during the day studying for ATPL subjects, go to tech college in the larger towns and at least one guy got onto a run that allowed him to go and do his year 12 HSC.
