I remember flying Sydney - Melbourne in an East West F27 and I was sitting in the window seat aligned with the prop, which looked a little to close for comfort to me. This was in the days of the two airline policy (TAA and Ansett) and East West had to stop at Albury so they were not competing directly. From memory it was about 3hr all up and we had to do a go around in Melbourne because of low cloud and fog.
Still enjoyed that flight and another East West F27 flight from Sydney to Tamworth. Some years later I also did the Ansett F50 from Sydney to Wagga Wagga, returning in the Baron to Bankstown as we did not finish our work in time. To top of the Fokker trifecta, I also manager a few flights in East West F28, again Sydney - Melbourne.
