Jarden ,the 727 in CNS does not fly it is the one here in BNE only that does.RP-C8017 based in BNE does all the flying.Sure it does do the odd flight into CNS.

I would assume that is why Heavylift have been leasing Asia Pacific 722F recently out of BNE is that RP-C8017 was due for maintenance but now why bother, when they will be banned from Sep just lease a aircraft when required ???

Yes from 01 sep they will have to find another aircraft type?

I never seen it move from its park at the airport in 5 years, the grass is growing under its wheels now.

MAG 212 the DC8 is due today later on -no times.

[Phil M]

About 11am? Or a bit before.

[Gerard M]

9G-AXB is the rego. Just up on PP now.

It wasn't the DC8 that we were originally expecting and it wasn't that noisy, Mr Albanese :-) Meridian Airways DC8-63F arrived about 11.10am.

Cheers
