VH-KDK Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 A flight from Tamworth to Port Macquarie in a Trans Australian Airlines Fokker F-27 Friendship. The F-27 was a very popular aircraft in Australia operating with many airlines on the shorter routes. I did fly in an Ansett F-27 from Melbourne to Sydney via Albury in 1984. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorham Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Great Shots Martyn, I had a few FL YSCB to YSSY TAA, and on the East-West YMAY to YSSY !!!! Good old memories,Regards Shaun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerribleT Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Indeed thanks for the memories - the F27 replaced the DC-3 in TAA and Ansett fleets both in Australia and their subsidiary airlines in the Territory of Papua and New Guinea - anyone who flew regional Oz or TPNG routes in the late 1950s to late 1970s would have traveled in one of these very reliable, comfortable, fast but pretty noisy aircraft - I forget how many flights I enjoyed in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Great set these Martyn. cheers Iain Thanks Iain. HI Martyn..I want the Friendship mate..freeware or payware..where do i get it. been looking for one for a while..thought i read somewhere a while ago a payware one was coming out. My Dad flew one for years for NAC in NZ...he even flew the Queen and Royal family around NZ in one in 1970 !! cheers stu It's a pretty basic freeware model Stu, like a lot of the ones I fly I just like to see the actual aircraft flying and manage the best I can with the cockpit. Interesting story about your dad. He must have been extremely well regarded to have flown the Royals around. Very surprised there is no payware F-27(FH-227) or F-28 yet as they were widely used around the world. http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=29689441 Great Shots Martyn, I had a few FL YSCB to YSSY TAA, and on the East-West YMAY to YSSY !!!! Good old memories, Regards Shaun. Thanks Shaun, saw them all over our great land, even at Jim Jim in the NT.Lucky to have had a couple of flight too.

teecee Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I was load controller on these back in the eighties, both in Alice springs and Launceston.. Flew from Sydney to the Alice in one which landed at Birdsville for fuel.. Not a soul about, and the Pilot and FO had to hand pump the fuel from forty four gallon drums..Ah, happy days. Teecee.
