I have fond and sentimental,memories of aircraft I have flown over the last 35 years but things move on and many of my previous steeds have gone to the crusher.
Most of those junk aircraft should have gone straight down to Sims Metals. When will the GA industry start to re equip with newer aircraft?
It is very hard to charter even a decent 20 year old turboprop in WA or NT (we have a 25 year age limit). All I can find is single pilot GA 35 year old aircraft. I am sorry, they are not much better than scrap. There is work in the NW for decent turbine aircraft properly operated with 2 pilots by a credible operator who can pass an audit.
