New Fiat G-59 Registration in the US

Fri Jun 30, 2006 4:11 am

My attention has been drawn to this:


http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry ... rtxt=5955F

The C/N of 185 makes it a G-59-4B with serial MM53778. This is not on the registry

I wonder if this is the Jerry Jagen 'Italian' bird mentioned a few months back:

Years ago there was a (I think) a G-59 Wreck at Duxford (I think owned by OFMC) I wonder if this is it?


Any more info

Paul,

Wasn't the Fiat wreck at Duxford a G-46 and not a G-59 ?

See this thread on Planetalk - 5th photo down

If so then I thought it was owned by ARCo and not OFMC

Lynette Zucholli's Fiat G-59B in Australia was for sale recently. Perhaps it's that one?

OK - yep is was a G-46.. I was doing it from memory!!! and it was ARCO.. I knew it was not TFC, I just got the wrong other outfit!!!!

Thanks

Dave - I am almost 100% certain is is not the same aircraft at the Zucholli's machine..That has a different C/n and serrial number

Ah, so it's been registered now! :wink:

Nice to see that it will see the light of day after so long in storage. :)

I'm sure that the new owner will have it restored appropriately.

Oh, and I have the airframe listed as MM53778 in my records, so can confirm your projection from the c/n as registered (185) Paul.
