Tom – There is no ‘Beech’ in that HS125 ! That was built well before Beech they got their mits on it! Has in been in North America all its life?

Data tag calls it a Beech Hawker 125-600 and yes it shows a North America only life according to the logs we have.

Thanks Tom

The Starfighter looks to be in really good condition Tom and the canopies nice and clear too.

David

The Beech Hawker 125-600 is, the Beech 18 is on loan and will be departing shortly.

The 125 is a donation, a complete aircraft that has missed virtually every calendar inspection and now is simply too expensive to return to service. Short of a polish (due this summer) it is on display and open during the summers.

The Beech 18 was to be a donation and a return to airworthy project, negotiations have not come together and it will be leaving.

Thanks Tom
