SRT your memory serves you well they both have the same small ****ty -6 engine -
ZENJ - the one in Lubumbashi is a 600 series (ex Chadian Air Force) which did a gear up on the ramp I understand -
The 100 in Kinshasa is searching for a new home..........
Still unsure why these guys went for a fuel guzzler 600 instead of a Convair 580 which uses 30% less fuel, carries 40% more and flies 30% faster AND costs about the same to buy!
