Hey to our friends in the southern hemisphere, what ever happened to the P-2V of Aerocorp in Perth, Australia? Did they ever get it flying? I know it was for sale at one time, is it still there?

Last I saw it was mid-2004 parked at Perth airport. Will give an update if I get a chance to get there in next few days.

Cheers

Andy

Thanks for the reply back. Just hope it does not meet the same demise as the other P-2's have.

Besides the Erikson Skycranes over east, I reckon it's the most capable water bomber in the country. Certainly the biggest carrying capacity in Western Australia. Come to think of it, she performed at the latest Cunderdin Airshow. I'll have to check but that may have been last year or 2005.

Cheers

Andy

Engines are run on a semi regular basis and I have been told that the owner intends on getting her in the air again.
