One of the rewards of having full airport access is being there when a new aircraft is towed from the hangar while still in the stages of being made ready for service with Alliance Airlines. This airframe started life as N889US with US Air as N889US and finished life as P2-ANA with Air Niugini after a mercury spill rendered it totally unserviceable. Sadly the next step was the airport fire dump at Brisbane.
