FNQ Yestayear Images - June 1994

Coming in off the ocean from Noumea on Sun morn the 5th, was the delightful sight of Franks G73T Turbo Mallard conversion N73AH on delivery to Pearl Aviation in Darwin

The appropriately named Heron Airlines DH114 VH-NJI stopped over on the 13th
Jayapura based PA-27 Aztec PK-UCC called in on the 17th, on one of its bi-annual visits. Yajasi Aviation now uses a PC-12, PK-UCG, which also visits

Seen here in its usual environment on the 24th at the Marina, is DHC-2 Beaver VH-AAD wearing Australian Barrier Reef Airways titles, shortly before it was acquired by Aquaflight

Thanks to GAFLIKS for providing this Yestayear report.
