ReplyDeleteI wonder where this writer got his/her information.
Operational from the point of view of the auctioneer. Airworthiness is a relative question. You may want to address request for more information to them on that fact. Or maybe it was meant for other aircraft on the auction block? Anyway, thank you for the comment and your visit.
