Brindabella to base J41 in Sydney

[Rowan McKeever]

I'd agree with that David... 'Brindabella' wouldn't mean much to most of the combined airline's network

It's sad isn't it. I loved watching and riding on the Twin Otters from YPEC. The feeling of the take off and the landing was just such a great flying experience. When I first got a credit card one of my first silly purchase was a return trip for a rediculous price just for the hell of it.

One of my biggest regrets is I can't find my video of a YPEC take off I took with an old smartphone in the mid 00s. Otherwise I'd put it up on my @ThisPlaneLife twitter and YouTube account.

The Twin Otter, the only aircraft to get a bird strike from the rear!

I thought the Caribou had that honour....?

See what happens with the NSW route licenses.

The Caribou always had the rear door open, the birds just flew straight through.

Brindabella has picked up three from IAP/Aeropelican.

OTD,OTE,OTF on 24/01/2013.

Does anyone know if Aeropelican are replacing these a/c ?

Aeropelican and Brindabella are the same company, you will most likely fond nothing will change.
