End of an era

One by one, the six brand new Caravans have been coming from the US to Mareeba for fitting out, and then being flown up to Papua New Guinea.

Yesterday the first of the aircraft they are replacing, a Twin Otter, was flown from PNG back to Mareeba. In a few months they will all be retired from MAF service - the end of an era.
