Sad to hear that... with oldest 9M-MDK first reveneu flight took off on March 1982 while "youngest" in operation begin in May 1992..this flight not only ferry human but animal as weel..chicken is the most "lucky" animal get on board perhaps, with Twin Otter..some of rural resident even bring TONG GAS...hehehehe...that is the scenario on Rural Air Service (RAS)...most of them use twin otter as best option get connected with outside world.. one day i hope i'll fly to highland of Bario(BBN) or Bakalalan(BKM) or others rural place suc as Long Akah (LKH),Long Banga(LBP),Long Lellang(LGL) and Long Seridan(ODN);all in Sarawak, with twin otter before MASwings start to replace it... with Datuk Idris Jala as "tour guide" perhaps..hehehehehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
