Darwin Airport Movements

[High Altitude]

Just check with the Aviation museum as it lives there now. I thought it had been retired?

How big was this rear engined thingy?

[MARARA]

its quite big, i actually thought it was a Fokker. But when i have seen it, it has been quite far away.

[Dog One]

It may have been Alliance's F100. It was parked on bay 7 this morning when we came through.

Ron usda terrorise the town every sunday in his back ta front plane.

To answer the original post, the movements are down, way down:

1999-2000 98,898
2000-2001 94,708
2001-2002 84,448

and calendar year to date (jan-aug) = 53,652

Alos have not had the military exercises of the past.

[D.Lamination]

dbr,

Don't forget that since AN went down QF have been using B767's a lot so less movments but similar pax no.s.

Don't agree with losing daily SIN flight though - it must be hurting local tourism

[Capt Vegemite]

Oh...here we go... qantas just halved their weekly flights to Bali.

Gotta dickeybird that Shells work boats have quietly up anchored and sailed off .

Better go reserve me beggin' spot in Mitchell St...apparently you can feed yerself quite well snatchin food off tourists plates.

Ut... Oh...Newsflash...a BOOZER has closed its doors in Darwin.

Cheer up Vege there's still about 26 other establishments offering refreshments.

Bet old Mich McNamee is licking his chops right now - one less competitor for Rorke's, unless the other mob get their licence to serve patrons standing up.

Thursday is always an interesting day for people spotting in the mall so I'll look out for you!

[Northern Chique]

Thanks to the bunch of aviation guys and gals who offered to help with a patient outside Rourkes the other night...

I was amazed to see pilots put down drinks and offer a hand!

This particular patient had security, sitting patrons, police, fire and ambulance "entertained" for quite some time. The patients actions resulted in part of Mitchell St being cordoned off along side the new worksite.

Thanks again to all...

NC

[Capt Vegemite]

The patient will no doubt assist police with their enquiries after release from hospital?

[MIss Behaviour]

Maybe, but they'd better be forthcoming with some pizza or lookout - as some diners found out the hard way.

[Capt Vegemite]

Jeezuz...it any wonder vege avoids disappointment and stays home?
