This morning there were four Cessna corporates on the main apron, two Citation 750 X (VP-VPF & VH-RCA), a Citation 510 Mustang, and a Citation 650. At the other end of the spectrum I had a look over Tiger Moth's VH-CCD and VH-AJA, 1942 and 1946 models respectively. There was a little bit of a cool breeze blowing, but the blue skies were a perfect backdrop.

N36715 Beech King Air 350 (FL-415) maybe one of two recently ferried into the country.

You need to contact Ralph as what 2 people have posted here is not what he has told me.

Well that's the whole point of a forum then isn't it, if you know about something, ie "the correct information" then you let people know don't you?

Not having a go just stating the obvious... You don't say something is incorrect and then not give the correct info and leave it at that, I don't know who Ralph is or care, I just want a shot of C-47 in USAAF colours if it's moving or staying no big deal...

[Mick F]

2 people? Who's the other?

[Graeme Em]

Sold for $31,000 to Peter Starr, the guy who owns Dakota National Air.

I'm not here to upset anyone, I'm not at liberty to say what Ralph has told me, you need to contact him for the facts. The above quote is not what he told me.

I'll apologize Graeme if I seemed rude, if it's not ya info to divulge so be it..

Another question about this C-47, did this aircraft make an appearance at the 1992 or 95 Avalon airshow by any chance ?
Reason being I remember a Dak in USAAF colours at one of those shows most probably at the 92 show....
