Brisbane - Goondiwindi
Has there ever been a Brisbane - Goondiwindi service?
Or anywhere to Goondiwindi for that matter?
Couldn't find anything on the net...

CW has it!
Bushies used to go to Gundi back in the 70's.
In fact lots of places had airservices back then that don't today - that's called progress, isn't it?
I recall catching a TAA Twotter at Miles/Condamine and at Bowen, a C402 in Clermont and Collinsville, and I have ridden the Kingair from Toowoomba to Sydney and back.
At one time in the 70/early 80's there was an Aztec went Brisbane-Cherribah-Warwick-Coolangatta!
Interesting to see a Dornier at Chinchilla last Tuesday - didn't know about that one.

If my memory serves me correctly,Burnett Airways used to service ports west from Brisbane in the early to mid 70s using Trislanders. Imagine bumping around on a hot summer's day doing the commuter service at 135kts.
Anyhoo,Bushies bought out Burnett & I have some old Bushie timetables from 1981 when they were operating Cessna Titans BN-TWB-GOON-TWB-BN 7 days per week arr Goon 11.15am & dep 11.45am. One year later the service was down to Mon,Wed,Thurs,Fri.

Someone?? took over the routes from Air Queensland.
Then Coddair did it for some time. They then became part of Norfolk Island Airlines!
There were routes also to St.George, Cunnamulla and Thargominda!

There was a mob who flew Archerfield to G'Windi.
Wasn't that long ago either. I remember seeing one of their aircraft parked at G'Windi when I did a navex there for my PPL in July 2005.
I remember they had a female CP and I think they had some sort of association with a G'windi busness. (From memory the owner of the operation also owned a local sawmill).
That's the best I can recall, it may jog somebodys memory.

Dude65-
For what it's worth...?- No actual knowledge, but I believe- Dick Sudholz of Sudholz Earthmoving ran a T303 Crusader (amongst whatever else, I don't know) AF- Goondiwindi (or where required..) in support of that earthmoving operation, way back when???
Don't know that any of it was other than Company/PVT??

In December 1956 I flew from Brisbane to Moree via Goondiwindi in a Butler Airlines DC3 - my 1st flight and really a rough one too. I think it went on from Moree to Narrabri and then Tooraweenah then Tamworth - Sydney.
I think Butler was taken over by East-West by about 1960, and they were flying F27's at least to Moree. I think the Brisbane leg might have been dropped after the takeover??
happy days,

LMS Crusader, bought VHMRO (Sudholz) back in 2008 when Sudholz unfortunately went into receivership. LMS has both VHMRO and VHLMS both 303 operating majority private farming operations and the odd charter. Sudholz was a fantastic GA operator gave many girls and guys a good start.
