Cunning plan.......unfortunately I have been reliably informed most are approaching max airframe life limits, and CASA are a bit fussy about fatigue.
Missed out on the CT4 bargains so was keen to look at a PC9, cest la vie.

Having said that I often enjoy going past Eagle Farm and seeing what they have available ex army, Bushmasters could be fun, and it was only recently they finally emptied the shed full of hueys!
