So pray tell, what's so unique about this aircraft delivery that warrants its own thread? I've searched back and can't find any threads about the delivery of any of the other 90 odd RFDS aircraft.
Good morning all, how busy you have all been typing away
It's nothing to do with gender
Tick for Renurpp
There is nothing special about a simple ferry flight these days

Maybe, maybe not. But who wouldn't like to do this trip in a shiny new plane ex-factory. Getting to see the Himalayas, overnight in Thailand amongst other nice spots would be an experience that few would turn down I'm sure. Pprune doesnt have to be all complaining and sour grapes does it?

I wholeheartedly apologise for being historically challenged
But you must admit Megle 2's reply was a bit mealy mouthed.
Ignorant; maybe. Ill informed and abrupt; likewise....
Maybe just intended to be a bit of the stirring variety....
Whatever.
Apropos of nothing else; DF; How are ya??

draaaaaging the thread back to where it belongs,
This totally rocks. Yes it's just a modern turboprop being ferried in but it's what it will do while it's here that's important. It means the RFDS has a new life saving tool to continue it's work.
For those of us that spend our working hours transporting nameless, faceless, ungrateful passengers in big shiny jets, we can only be envious of the RFDS pilots that their work means something and they are part of a great Australian legacy.
You would be hard pressed to find a more worthy pilot to collect a new aircraft and bring it to it's new home. She's not only brought the aircraft to Australia but into the community by sharing the experience with her children's school.
Welcome home Esther, my dear friend from long ago.

So what's special about that
Most people reading this post would have loved to been along on that PC12 delivery flight.
Why oh why do people like Megle 2 have to suck the joy out of flying ?
Surely sucking the joy out of flying is CASAs job.
Meanwhile I reserve the right to have a shot at people like Megle2 if they write depressing or belittling posts for no good reason.
Ouch, I should of included in my original post that ferry flights can be a great memory especially when enhanced by a few logbook photos
I used to donate to the RFDS too but haven't bothered since I heard about the bloated management salaries, expensive wall art, etc. They don't seem to need the help anymore.
There ya go, flower, not sure why you felt compelled to bring up gender but it's all fixed for you now, in ATSB style.
I deleted the name though; not too sure they'd like their name in this ridiculous thread! I wouldn't.
They've just landed in YBRM (Broome). They will be continuing on to YPAD tomorrow.

that was josef mengele; it's drawing too long a bow to associate megle 2 with that, and it's something I'd prefer not to see in a thread about the wonderful RFDS,
