TH-586. It was orignally VH-BRD and operated up north before being bought by jetcraft. From a pilots POV, it was a excellent plane and flew very well. Unfortunately it cracked a few cylinders, had a gear issue or two due and would chew though starter clutches due to large amount of cycles. While at Orange, it would perform 6 sectors a day with the longest sector being 20 minutes. TAS 'ed 180 but used about 130 an hour during the bank runs but about 115-120 during longer sectors. It has under 10000 hours and long range tanks.
