My new toy finally arrives
Been planning this flight for many many weeks and finally my new toy arrived from Toowoomba to Bankstown.
The weather on the flight went from 15kt head wind to 15kt tail wind. 216kts ground speed over Richmond |

Yes.
I have owned a few aircraft over the years and this is by far in the best condition. 2 year old paint. Spent most of that time in a hanger. Leather. Working COLD aircon, radar and everything works The HF aerial snapped like a whip in the run up bays at Toowoomba which scared the crap out of us all but it was sorted. Those McCauley prop STC's really make a difference to the flight and its so quiet inside compared to the normal ones |

TTX.
was owned by a mining company for their corporate staff but it started to get used less and less because the airlines were cheaper and they are now wanting to get rid of the 2 aircraft they owned this being one of them. Not sure what the other one was but i think maybe an old 310. |
