Fathom..

ISL only had 8500 hours when she from PNG as P2-MCA in 97 , so it has been almost a retirement job here in OZ ...:rolleyes:

.... definate retirment job for ISL - takes a long time to put the hours on it when it does 6 minute sectors.

Sad to hear it has moved on.

I read somewhere recently that the average Qantas aeroplane has flown about 65000 hours. They will be flying for some time yet.

The best fun was the aural legs of the VAR.

Nice to know there is another old flyer still out there who has that endorsement

:D:ok:

jetbrett 3rd Jun 2007 02:21

ga trojan,

correct, that is ernabella, an interesting little strip to go into, especially when it is a bit gusty

Peter Fanelli 3rd Jun 2007 03:34

VAR!!! Holy Cow :eek:

There was one still in existance when I started but I never experienced it.

Peter Fanelli 3rd Jun 2007 03:36

VAR, you have to get right in between the legs on one of those for a bit of aural right? :E




Ernabella is even more intersting when the cloud is down low.
Bank Run VFR, builds character :)

Nah Jamair, they were his boots. But why anyone would wear work boots to climb Ayers Rock is beyond me. :ooh:

But he beat me to the top, so I guess my cross-trainers aren't much better. Either than or he is fitter than I am. :{

That old strip, hard by the Redsands Motel, where the dingoes into the garbage bins would awaken all but the drunkest. Last time there was in Connair's 180 UPG, the one Harry 'Pelvis' Purvis earlier on did his Rock scenics in. Either UPG or UPJ eventually went to a bloke called Dave (Mittiebah Station) and his wife Jan, who flew F/A on Herons. (Had a feed at her place one night. Her old bassoon she'd turned into a standard lamp. Her interests at the time lay in a Heron driver, P.H.)

Please check PMs, tinpis.
