.....was always chasing the fine Lady behind the bar in the dining room.....
And thanks for the compliment Mango. It was always good to fly with you too.
Good luck!Apache; Your assistance in helping finish the bottle(s) was always appreciated!

Does anyone have any knowledge of how the current operator is faring as of late? I assumed that they had got the run sussed and were carrying on ok but recently I heard some talk that things were not as they could be.
As the info I recieved was admittedly about third hand I would prefer to hear/read it from someone who knows!
Awaiting...

I heard that there have been a number of times when they have either had to do two trips to Innamincka or get another aircraft to help with the load, due to the fact that they will persist in using a Baron instead of something bigger.

The Garlic XXXX at Boulia.
I walked into the 'Australia Hotel' at Boulia, approached the young maiden behind the counter, and coyly asked....'um, do you know anything about the garlic xxxx?"
"Ah, f^ck me, H*****, told you to ask, didn't he?"
And thereby, a legend was created, just like those blessed Min-Min lights....
.. but do you remember who got you into that sh?tty company...?

VH5BYJ;Thanks for that.So they're still using a Baron eh? Two trips to Innamincka would tend to knock the profit margin around somewhat!! And getting another aircraft to help with the load?? Care to say more about this?
Still think that a Shrike would be the best for the job. Or if unavailable at least a properly looked after Chieftain.
