Citation X at YSBK
Does anyone know who owns and operates this beautiful aeroplane. The rego is VH-TEN and I saw it out at YSBK yesterday being towed. Searching on the net I saw a recent picture of it in Germany so I guess it does get around.
I think flying that would be my ultimate job!

My understanding is that it is owned by the family who were founders of a major Australian wine producer, subsequently taken over by Southcorp.
This family had plantations in PNG prior to independence.

I did my 1st flight in TEN for my TIF. too bad I cant fly VH-TEN now :P
Yeah same here. I have a hundred hours or so on VH-TEN but only when it was a humble 152 and I was instructing in it years ago.
Wouldn't surprise me if Frank was flying one around. When I was there he was quite actively flying Citation II's and Bravo's around. There was always talk of a X being on the books for the future.

I would really love to see more photos posted from trips in this aircraft . Eg cockpit shots or any other photos from various places around the world or in Australia for that matter. I am totally in love with that aircraft!!!
Maybe a photo of the aircraft G/S readout or flying at Mach 0.88 or something ??

It's Bob Oatleys aircraft - made available to Fosters, "Balmoral" and its associated entities are used as corporate vehicles to operate , invest , lease and perform various other tax efficient tasks.
I can tell you in no uncertain terms that it was the opposite, Rosemount took over Southcorp and made a balls of it.
subsequently taken over by Southcorp.
Chimbu Warrior. I remember when he bought his first small vinyard which in 30 years, turned into an 850 Megabuck Bonanza. He made a nice drop of vino I may add!!
