Short but interesting article about a Dash 8 delivery flight, a couple of photos are attached, one of which shows the very unusual sight of two Qantas birds at New Chitose Aiport, Sapporo, Japan, both on delivery flights.

Planespotters would pick up an issue with a photo in the main story.

I flew on that plane on 29 Sept. (QF2349). The crew mentioned that it was the third flight for that aircraft in oz and it had come from Toronto. The interior was curved with smooth lines throughout and still had the new plane smell. The overall aircraft noise was much less than older Dash 8's I've flown on in the QF fleet.

Gee, and I thought flying Y in a 747 overseas was bad

Second-hand model by the look of that leading edge!
If that was on the delivery flight, he flew too close to the volcano.

LOL, I suspect its a 100 series, possibly VH- TGT C/N 009, TAA only bought two and one headed to PNG for a short life in Sunbird colours, latter models had less windows down the starboard side.
