It's my understanding OPAL currently have 3 J41's, 2 of these are leased from Canada and the other is leased from an Auckland based group of businessmen who bought it some months back along with the OPAL building. The 2 surplus 41's are gathering dust on the tarmac at WB, they were prepared to fly offshore but for some reasong have not gone.
I have seen OPAL staff pilfering parts so there must still be some gentlemens agreeement between all parties concerned?
I use to fly a J41 overseas and they are a great plane to fly and to those guys who think the new Q 300's will smoke them, then think again.
