WALL OF FAME - 2005
    • Name: Jason Zielke
    • Airline: O’Connor Airlines
    • Date: 01 February 2005
    • Notes: It was back on the 1st of February 2005 when I was working for a company called O’Connor Airlines from Mount Gambier, South Australia. This particular aircraft (rego VH-OAA), and myself, were permanently based in Adelaide, South Australia, and we used to fly YPAD-YMIA-YPAD twice per day, one return trip early in the morning and one return trip in the evening. Mildura (YMIA) is almost due East of Adelaide (at 200nm or so) so on the first sector we would quite often get really good westerly winds. This particular shot was taken at FL250, just prior to TOPD. The sad thing about this aircraft is that Just recently, in the last 3 months or so, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia (CASA) issued a directive permanently grounding all C441’s with more that 22,500 flt hrs. If I recall correctly the a/c had about 21500 hrs on it when I did this flight. As a result the “Boomer” as she was affectionately known as within the company is now mothballed.
