DHL 727 Sorry Chainy :(

[Guest Darren Masters]

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!

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.

Agreed re the hush kits Chainy. Damn good idea!
