VH-MMS seen here either on a promotion flight on December 28, 1959, or its inaugural flight three days later. It amassed over 70,000 hours in Australia before it was exported to Chile in 1991. As a result of MMA's long sectors for an F27, VH-MMS became the first F27 to pass both 10,000 hours and 20,000 flying hours.
