Hi Stationair8,
The Conquests have been parked outside of the Boeing hangar at Bne for several months, and before that at Archerfield. Cessna has issued a SB stating that they won't guarentee their airworthiness beyond about 22000 hrs, so they're indefinitely grounded by CASA. To answer your question, they were used by Jetcraft to service FIFO runs into northern SA mining sites and some bank run work as well.
I'm with Jetline Engineering, and used to help maintain these a/c but we're all now wondering whether to stick around and see how this all unfolds or try to look for work elsewhere.
I love working at Jetline, but have to look after my family first and foremost I suppose... so we'll see...
