Newspaper Delivery

Featured Replies

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

All of you have heard of newspaper trucks delivering newspapers from printing plants to newsstands or street vendors on avenues or streets.  All of you have heard of school age kids riding bikes delivering newspapers to homes in suburbs or small towns.  All of you have heard small cars or vans delivering newspapers to homes in suburbs or vans.

But all of you have never heard of a newspaper company buying planes to deliver or airdrop newspapers to small towns or neighboring cities from Sydney!!

Presenting a flight from airfield near newspaper printing plant to YSCB Canberra Airport located in Australia's capital city, Canberra

Super shiny and well polished plane full loaded with batches of newspapers ready for flight!!

Beautiful! :cool: Wasn't there an American Airlines captain who, when asked how do you keep the plane so shiny, just said - "Speed, Sir!"  :wink:
