Nothing to do with SYD but I thought it was interesting... VA ATR72 VH-FVN ferried home from Seletar over the last two days. Yesterday nonstop to PHE in 6:27 and today nonstop PHE to BNE in 5:52 (I was listening on liveATC as the controller asked how long the sector was). Today's flight had a scheduled stop at ASP but was making up time all the way from takeoff and obviously a decision was made that the aircraft could continue all the way to BNE without stopping!
And yes, I know it would only have had pilots onboard!
