Ryan, nice pics but I noticed in both take off's it appears flaps were not used (or don't appear to have been used) that I could see. Not having flown a SAAB yet to observe first hand, anyone with 340B knowledge?

Nothing wrong with the trolley dolly. On a flight that short I was not expecting her to serve any drinks etc to the passengers.

I was hoping David would be part of the crew of that flight, but I think he was in Sydney at that time.
