Good Grief!
How did we miss that from our "other types pages". We had some message board traffic on these aircraft a few years ago. http://www.adf-messageboard.com.au/invboar...p?showtopic=943 I'll add creating a page for them to the queue on the "To Do" list! BC |

Yeah they are mainly for freefall courses/currency and supporting the PTS PJIs/riggers who make up the 'Red Berets'.
A bit cheaper and more avaiable that the C-130s. It will be interesting to see if this contract remains in place after the aquisition of the C-27J |

These guys have now lost the contact and the aircraft are laid-up at YBAF. Skytraders took over in July and have the two Orange C212-400s based at Nowra.
