| 136791 | C-1A | Fuel Services, LLC in Wasilla, AK, N27PH |
Named "Wheel Chair Seven" and registered
N27PH.
This C-1A was completely destroyed on
October, 16, 2012 in a one fatality accident near Skewentna, AK, killing
pilot Peter B. Iversen Sr. Fuel Services earlier in 2012 had purchased
136791 from James Haggland, Fairbanks, AK and was using it to haul
freight in Alaska, especially to operating gold mines. Photos of
136791 can be found on my Archived Tracker
Updates page. Recent information from Donald Smith of
Columbus, IN, who was a crew member on this particular Trader while in
the US Navy, says he has seen it in Alaska and it is being used to
support a gold mine operation. The sighting was made in October of
2009. See the short history below on 136791. It is very
interesting. |
| 147535 | S-2D | Allied Air Force, Allen Town, PA |
This aircraft was registered as N2195Y but
was de-listed in May of 2003 and taken apart for spares. It was no
longer at Allentown as of June 2004 when the webmaster visited the airport, and
according to the FBO, it had been cut up and shipped elsewhere.
From the photos this looked to be a very nice looking aircraft.
Before its demise this Tracker had been put up for sale on Ebay and had
a high bid of $45,100, which did not meet the reserve price. The
aircraft had 5,523 hours on the airframe and 683 hours on the right
engine and 1014 hours on the left engine since major overhaul. It
was purchased by UAC and taken to Tucson, AZ. Aeroweb 147535-1-2000 Aeroweb 147535-1-2000 Airliners 147535-2004 |
