Thats what i thought.

A sad day for us here in the states, but whoever bought her will hopefully fly her instead of having her sit on the ground.

OZ.....humm......

Will they use it to pattern some parts needed in Wangeretta for the new built A20's ?

Just curious.

Better flying in Oz than a "hangar queen" in the States I reckon. It'll be great to finally see some air under those wings.

nope this will be flying asap from what i here,steve searl also has two avenger's so i raely look forward to seeing this at airshow's around oz

.
btw wangratta has plenty of orignal a20 stuff as they bought the left over's from the raaf museum restoration of jessica and helan pelican.

here's a pic of the big nig fuselage that they say will with 70% of it's orignal component's.

Bummer. I was hoping to get down that way to see her. She was abandoned in a field here at KVKS (Vicksburg, Ms.), for a while....... I remember my dad taking me out to see it in the weeds when I was a little kid.
