Old Eastern and Southern Australia routes
Was just wondering if anyone can help in regards to which routes were flown by the Cessna Titan and Jetstream aircraft used by Southern and Eastern Australia back in the day.

Eastern Routes
Titan's operated all stops up the cost from Sydney to Brisbane. They also operated into Tamworth. The same route was also operated by the Bandits. The Jetstreams operated SYD-NTL, SYD - TRE, SYD - CFS, SYD - GRAFTON, SYD - CBR ?, SYD - TMW, SYD - NBR/ MOR Southern Routes The Titans also operated Mildura - Melbourne. They also operated all over Victoria under the Air Ambulance contract. |

I was only a kid Grahame but I still remember going to the airport and seeing East West airlines, Air NSW, and my favorite the Tamair metroliners.

I worked for Eastern Australia at Newcastle Airport in the mid 80s...then a tin shed. Oh how its changed. i recall the 404 Titans being flown to Sydney and Sydney via Maitland. Also direct to Canberra. They flew a daily milkrun from Willy to Brisbane via Taree, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Lismore and Coolangatta.
Also to Tamworth And Armidale I think. I flew on them many times in the right hand seat with the cheap staff ticket. The Bandits flew Willy to Sydney. Some of the regos for the titans I recall were ARQ DLF TMX TMZ UOP. The 3 Bandit regos were HVS WDF and WDI. I used to do a 2 minute weather report from the airport on 2hd including the latest flying conditions of one of our planes. The good old days. |

Good old ARQ. It used to do curfew Canberra-Sydney-Canberra freight runs from Bay 19 at the turn of the century.
