Re: Seen at FAWB (Wonderboom)
-RIL looks more and more sad by the day or month, doesn't it? It was such a good aerie back in the '80s. Bruce, do you know anything of that 500's history? I wonder if it was a Botswana aircraft earlier in its life? The India registration doesn't seem time-appropriate...

ZS-IMY was registered in SA in Dec 1972 off the US register.Christopher wrote: Fri Mar 14, 2025 6:50 pm -RIL looks more and more sad by the day or month, doesn't it?

Now that I have checked, its actually an Aero Commander 680F, so that is why it does not align with early 500 commander registrations.
Well spotted !

We should ban pics of C172s, they all look the same!
