The funny thing is that ...because the Cat was always THERE ... I dont have that many pics of it when it was outside.

This pic was taken in May 2005

I have not been to Rand for a while so this is a pic taken a while ago of a Cherokee that had an engine fire.

The pic was taken 11 Nov 06 ... so no, it has not been repaired yet, and its been quite a while since the incident.

Bearcat wrote:HeadTrauma,
I dont know where the Catalina came from but it was been parked outside at Rand for many years. As far as I know it is registered in Swaziland as 3D-CAT. Approx eight months ago it was moved into a hanger at Rand for refurbishing to be made airworthy, apparently for export to the US.

There have been other threads about it on Avcom so you might want to try using the search function to find out more info.
Me thinks it would be worthwhile to find out from Henry van Reenen or Gert Roux. If somebody knows, it will be HvR.

thanks empty! nope, i'm weekend off (will be watching the ugly big airbus bird doing funny things at ORTIA) but might pop around to see how things are going. think it's a great initiative, and ric and I have done everything in our power to make sure everything runs smoothly from an ATC perspective.

by the way, that technam had a flat tyre....and most of the technam prangs have been on my watch so suffice to say i am VERY watchful of them! :shock:
