How much was your return flight, Ryan?

REX
 

Flights were $85 each way. Total $170

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?

How was the trolley dolly, Ryan?

REX
 

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

Are you referring to DM?

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

Not through lack of trying, I can assure you of that! :p

:D:D:D

If only they knew just how much you tried!:p

I've heard all the Biscuit Bitches out of ADL are simply FABULOUS!!!! (if not slightly androgynous)

Peter,

The Saab only uses Flap 0 or Flap 15 for take off. Usually out of the ports with longer runways (SYD, MEL, BNA, ADL etc) flap 0 is used. However sometimes with runway length, the condition of the surface (being wet or dry), take off weight, etc, flap 15 may need to be used.

Hope that's not how you like them Browneye?
You'd love a Bangladesh airline I know. :D

Ryan I saw your photos on Myaviation which brings back memories of my first ever flight which was on Kendell Saab 340A VH-KDK Adelaide to Kingscote way back in 1992. That aircraft is still in service today.

I lived in Wynyard (Tasmania) right near the airport for the last 2 weeks because of a project I was involved out there and I saw VH-ZRZ 5 times this week and several other newer Saabs. Lotsa photos uploaded on Myaviation.net of the Saabs and other little machines.

Why not doubles the chances of not going home alone!!!
