Sad demise of an aeroplane that had a significant history in Australia and the Pacific, I had a bit to do with it when National Jet we’re carrying livestock in it back in the early 90s. Anyone know if they are also planning on chopping up the ex Air Niugini F-28 as well?
Obviously not enough apprentices being trained due a lot of the heavy maintenance now being done offshore….
