prop job at Inflite

[TOWTEAMBASE]

Anyone know what the little black prop job is over at Inflite hangar STN. Looks like a Tucano but is US registered?

There was 3 actually, they are Beechcraft Texan 2s on delivery to the Royal New Zealand Air Force. They have now left and over France somewhere, do you need their serials?

No problem.

That is a long old flight…..In situations like these I often wonder if the time 'lost' during the delivery, the costs of fuel, accommodation, insurance, permits ad infinitum would be more cost efficient than shoving them in an AN124 or similar and having them in a day across the Pacific ?
