Fairchild Metroliner movements in/out of Sydney

[Tango Turboprop]

Hi all!

 

In the coming days I'm hoping to make it out to the fence at YSSY and get a shot or two of the Brindabella Airlines Metro that goes to/from Cobar of a weekday, although I'd like to enquire if there are any regular movements of Metros in/out of Bankstown Airport, assumedly for bank/freight/mail runs of a weekday evening.

 

I'm currently doing flight training at Whitworths at Bankstown, and regularly pass all the Airtex Metros. Most of the time, I return the following mornings to find they've all changed places and not sure if they've gone anywhere since I've gone :tongue:

 

Anyhow, any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Metros are certainly a type of aircraft which seem hard to see in Sydney (But nicely abundant in Adelaide with Sharp Airlines!).

 

Thanks

Oooo I'd love to see the Brindabella Metro. I'd also like to see the ATR VH-TOX (Toll).

From before I moved mate, Toll had quite a few death pencil movements.

Toll have two bank runs with metro's, departing BK approx 0630 and returning approx 1930-2000. The two ATR's (TOQ & TOX) only operate at night and arrive at BK approx 2300 and 0000 with a 90min turnaround. They also have a metro depart around 2130 each night. It's pretty impressive watching the ATR's punch out of BK's relatively short runway!
