V2-OMG! 25th Mar 2009 21:15


As much as I love vintage aircraft, and would love to fly a DC-3...
chimbu, I know of two companies in the U.S.A. that offer this:

Incredible Adventures in Atlanta, Georgia, and
Dream Flight in Corona, California.

Additional aircraft for fires
 
Bushy, I would have thought that there would be plenty of other aircraft defined as SEAT that are not on contract / stand by. I would bet a lot of ag operators would have applicable aircraft available for this purpose.

ER ZZZ

Sorry I should have said,the chieftain missing an engine sold for $45k,the one that sold for $195k was a 1973 model,TTIS 8253, RH ENG-943 to run, LH ENG-1800 to run,actually a good machine.

It doesnt reflect the value of the aircraft though,being the second in line the auctioneers moved so quick to start the bidding that people were still talking about what the previous sold for,(originally the first aircraft sold was apparently bought for around $550k but at this auction sold for $310k).
Potential bidders were caught unaware of the hammer falling at $195k so someone got themselves a bargain!

Hey Urkiddin'
 
Does anyone know what the C421 -JRW sold for?

Bloke who bought it has contacted me and sayd he owned it before but if it was lessee's auction WTF??>

Hey Horatio,

If I remember correctly, they announced at the auction that it had actually been removed from the sale list earlier that day or something due to the owner coming up with an installment or something along those lines.
