Orange and white jets at Jandakot

[Bla Bla Bla]

Are they Alpha jets and who do they belong to, what are they doing here just wondered?

[myshoutcaptain]

Stab in the dark , they might be for TAFE .. speaking of which , when do they expect to land the Ozjet 737 into jandakot?!

[PLovett]

The Singapore Air Force are selling off their Siai Machetti 211 jet trainers that were based at Pearce. Most likely they are now at Jandakot.:D

[AirSic]

Sunday Times News Paper rports that 18 hawks, former Singapore Airforce, from Pearce have been sold under auction. They have been relocated via low loader trucks from Pearce to Jandakot.

Buyer has not been advertised...any idea who and what the aircraft will be used for?

[Bla Bla Bla]

Well they are not Hawks but that Machetti thing sounds more like it.

Speaking of which why are TAFE getting a jet when none of the apprentices attending Swan Tafe are working on that type of aircraft. All the students are from GA fixed wing and Heli background.

Surely they don't think they can compete with groups such as Aviation Australia ??

[Joker 10]

Yup Marchetti 211 ex Singapore AF Training Pearce, good little jet, P & W JT 15 -d quiet but slow.

[Mach E Avelli]

May be the same ones advertised for sale (to civilian market?) in Aviation Trader 'from $200,000' each. I want one but wife says no. Women can be so unreasonable.

[Hasherucf]

Maybe its the Royal Aero clubs new training machines . Out with the 152's and in with the machi's . That should speed up the circuits :ok:

[Trojan1981]

Sydney based company- International air parts
If you like playstation, they also have the sim

[The Green Goblin]

Maybe fighter combat are upgrading them Nanchangs and finally getting something worth wearing a flight suit and a helmet in :ok:

Would go great for stroking the egos down there :p

[Sierra-Kilo]

The day racwa replaces those 152s will be a very sad day :( I love those things- geez can they take a beating :P

[FRQ Charlie Bravo]

SK, make the club an offer. Then you'll never have to see them all go.

I Believe, FCI are selling the Jets(Marchetti 211) for Singapore AF, They range from 2-300k and come with a heap of spares - heard it through the grape vine.

Make a cool private jet! less then a new cessna!

[Dunnza]

FCI are not selling them, IAP are, says so in the Aviation Trader

[j3pipercub]

Hey Everyone!!!!! Dunnza's Back!!!!!

Are You Buying The Jets For Adventure Flights??

[Cougar]

I was thinking, can you easily put these on the AUS register with bang seats in them? Or do you have to remove them and then wear parachutes?

[Trojan1981]

You can have ejection seats, as long as they are properly maintained.

[Engineer_aus]

There is already 2 on the aussie register.

[Joker 10]

They will be a maintenance nightmare, the system of maintenance will be BIG

[elementair]

wish they belonged to me haha, they up for auction went down to check them out, nice toys

[OZBUSDRIVER]

S211 for sale (http://www.siai-marchetti.nl/s211/s211forsale.pdf)

Hopefully mods do not see this as advertising. Makes a lot more sense than the speculation. Check out the fatigue life and total hours on the machines.

[Union Jack]

And here I was thinking that
EasyJet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EasyJet) had got a new destination!:)

You would be mad to buy any of these machines full stop, even if you had the cash. Disregarding their high hours they have been bashed around by cadets both in the air and on landings.
