Guest Darren Masters Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hello all. Found out last night that the beautiful bird-the DHL 727 has been banned from flying to Australia as of October due noise. She will be replaced by a 757. You heard it here first!

Guest Chainsaw Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hi Daz, Yes I did know this. A number of other planes have also been banned from major Aussie airports...AN124's too. Seems like a very political decision by the minister. I suppose this is what can happen when there is a federal election coming up and 'somebody's' electorate is very close to the airport. Maybe some selected pollies need to have a 'hush kit' fitted too. Let's hope the 757 will have full ADS-B fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
