Pictured vacating rw13R. Unfortunately I never had the chance to fly in a Metro - looks like it would be like sitting in a flying pencil. Would be fun though!

This normally Perth-based Metro is being used by Toll Express for their night freight runs for a while. It started life in 1981 as N1012U with Consolidated Airways. Passing through several operators, it then went to France in October 1988 as F-GFVS with Air Taxis Services, then Air Limousin. Sold back to the USA as N20849 in November 1989, then to Australian operator Transair as VH-TFQ on 4 February 1994. Passed through several hands to Casair, who re-registered it VH-OGX on 5 May 2008.

In 2008 Canberra-based Brindabella Airlines gave this Metro a new coat of vanilla paint and currently has it offered for sale. Evidently they are still using it in the meantime. The aircraft has an interesting history: built 1982 as Merlin IVC, cn AT-513. Re-delivered Dec 86 to Texas National Airlines as N3108H. Passed through several hands before moving to New Zealand in Feb 89 - became ZK-NSV with Air Nelson. Returned to US registry Jun 03 as N513FA. VH-TAO 1 Oct 2003.

Looks like this Metro has a new operator! Parked on the General Aviation apron while in the background a Qantas B744 thunders off Runway 01.

Just to confuse matters, this is the second Pel-Air Metro to be registered VH-EEQ! This one was built in 1985 and registered N3119B to Wings West Airlines. In 1990 they re-registered it N347AE. In 1993 it was exported to Australia, being registered VH-SST on 5 April. It was re-registered VH-EEQ by Pel-Air in January 2002.
