End of an era - the second last service flight of the Fokker 50s in South Australia. Seen here departing on Alliance flight QQ9820 (call sign Unity 9820) this was a 30 minute scenic flight with seats raffled to lucky passengers. After returning, the aircraft was prepped for its last service return flight to mining town Olympic Dam. A couple of days later it was seen with titles removed and is one of three to depart Oz for service with Air Panama. Two more are stored at Adelaide Airport with reports that they will be dismantled at the airport with the remains to be trucked away as scrap.
