What "wheels up" was this - the Slingair 210 that happened a few days ago (before their 310 landed short of the strip) or (God forbid) has there been ANOTHER one?!
bet Mr Slingair isnt too impressed.

Definitely not...
To add to that, I heard on ABC radio a few weeks ago their airport offices got broken into and some stuff stolen from a safe. All the local cops had to say was that "the offender(s) could be likely to have some inside knowledge of the premesis". No kidding!
520.

Would this be the same girl who ground looped a few weeks ago?? Makes you wonder about their check and training:;)
And by the way, are they still treating the pilots like crap up there and making them work like dogs?.....just wondering.

Seems like the morale at this company has changed drammatically over the last few years. It appears that the team effort has dissappeared and been replaced ?
Once upon a time it was a great place to work and I was envious of the guys that scored a gig there.
Any opinions?

Does anyone know the call sign of the C210 that had the wheels up at KU ? I assume the slingair 310R was VH-TWY....
thanks anyone !

VH-NLV was the 210. Don't think that is the correct rego for the 310 Mach.

I beleive that SA doesn't operate TWY anymore. The 310 was a new addition to the fleet this year. Don't know the call sign but it was really nice inside and out, always the way the nice planes bite the dust and the dogs keep flying.

Second time that aircrafts been pranged in the last 5 or so years.
It's also been for an 'excursion' at Merredin when previously owned by China Southern.
It is/was a good aeroplane though.
