White with a Red(ish) tail...... Could be Maroomba.
I did hear it was XMG, but I thought that one was white and blue tail.

Either way, I hope it was all a good outcome.

XMG doesn't have a blue tail like the rest of Skippers 441's, I think it still has the Rossair paint job.

Ah, that would explain why it's parked on the other side of the lot. I thought they had run out of room over at Skippers and were walking the punters across.

What about LBD, is that owned by the same group?

Melbourne, Alice , Darwin, Perth sounds more like "Direct Every Where" to me.

I didn't know that Maroomba owned any Kingairs these days.
LBD is indeed a Direct Air machine. It was a bucket when it was with it's previous owner, can't be much better now. Save for maybe RNAV equipped IIRC.
