Anyone know anything about it? I think it has a yellow cowl band. It is on the south end of the airport. Haven't had a chance to get a closer look in daylight...

Could this be the one due to be ferried to Australia? Or has this happened already? Been away for a few weeks so might have missed it happening.

Cheers

Andy

This is Crash William's TBM-3E N337GA that he sold 5-6 months ago and was suppost to go down under. This a shot from the B-25.

Mustang 44-74494 N72FT "Iron Ass" was also spotted in one of the new hangars nearby today.

Is this one going away as well?

Looks like it may be on the boat now, unless it has been moved to a hangar. Anyhow it is no longer sitting outside where it was at Long Beach Airport.

It's on the boat now. Crash sent me pictures earlier this week of it being picked up by the crane and loaded. They were pretty cool but I accidentally deleted them. The delivery to Australia was held up by the state department. Crash will be down in Australia later to fly some airshows for the new owner.

The aircraft is on the boat to the land of OZ.It will join Steve Searles other TBM- Big Alley". We will be posting some loading photos shortly on our News page at http://courtesyaircraft.com/hotnews.htm
Former owner "Crash" Williams was on hand to supervise the loading and will be heading down under to see the aircraft arrive.

That Avenger is Gorgeous! It's always great to see a warbird still flying with a new owner!

I doesn't seem the same out here in the NW

Crash is a great stick and just plain fun to be around.
