Well done Jamair,
I've managed to rack up a few hrs in an Aztruck myself. Not too many 6 place aircraft out there with an 890 kg useful load.
There is a very nice one at Jandakot just waiting for IJ's powerball/lotto/rich dead aunts numbers to come up.

GAWD, one would have thought from previous postings on the subject of buying scareoplanes that I would have been slagged from one end of Pprune to the other; so very pleasant to hear this positive feedback!!Folks, it's a C with a mod that does away with the big nostril in the nose, first registered 72 (ergo the original thought it was an E)
It does indeed have the metoaire tips and the outboards, for a total of 700 lts of go-gas, at 100lt/hr...... The U/C just redone with mods to do away with recurrent replacement/inspection of trunnions
Currently having the avionics redone with the Garmin 300XL approach GPS and a Garmin audio panel; still waiting for the JPI engine monitor......everything has stopped for the holidays in USA.
TAS is 165; could have paid another $100k to get an extra 20kt and less useful load (ie Baron/310) albeit they are a bit 'sexier'.... Did look seriously at an Aerostar 600 but .....nah, won't go there, ugly story
Thanks all for the good wishes and yes Chuck, I'll be down at RED soon, you can come and play, just don't put any nasty mid-seventies blue Beechcraft germs on my newly upholstered late sixties bright red Piper interior
.Happy and safe Christmas to all.

By Serial Number 27-4033 'tis a '69 D.
Yup those Metcoaires are a BIG asset giving you something like 1000nm with VFR reserves.
Pretty schmick avionics too.
Last time I delivered one of those was Jandakot Mildura Bankstown. Had too many coffees and orange juice ex JT and paid for it from aound HOB.
I have a feeling I know this aircraft, it wasn't VH-EGI in another life around '84, as there weren't all that many with Metcoaires.??

Dunno; must confess that while poring through the logs et al did not take note of variances in rego - will look at that next time I'm in TWB and get back to you.
The avionics certainly are pretty spectacular; the cost to fit them was also pretty spectacular
Does good things for the ego but; have the CD playing for the pax, while isolating them from crew or everyone from pilot; copilot and pilot being able to make concurrent transmissions or receive on separate channels. Having new, quality avionics in combination with the ENC headset makes the whole experience different.
Cheers.
