Nice pics, looks like it can get into Horn then!:ok:

It can get in, but can it get out!!!!! Getting in is the easy part. Sunnies Q300 is weight resticted due to T/O performance, whereas Q400 is not, it's a pavement restriction. This thing should do Ok, I'm sure it can manage more than 100'/nm on one!!!!!! Well done Ric for trying something different. If it wasn't for dudes trying ****, where would you be right now???????

As a regular traveler to the Torres Strait, I sure would love to see a jet operating on this route. Rather get to my destination in one hour rather than two.

The region is trying hard at the moment to push tourism, and jet services would hopefully make it more attractive for the armchair tourist to get to the topend. Hope too with the extra capacity, that it makes the airfares more afordable!

Sure wish ric and his team luck with the tender, would be a win for all!!!

It is good to see someone having a go introducing a new jet service that isn't in the ML-SY-BN corridor! I wish them all the best...:ok:
