NBV wont be scrapped. It has been sold but I'm not sure who to.


Unfortunately it wasn't to me. I'd have made it in an awesome house...

Yes it amazes me how one day it is a fully serviceable aircraft capable of another 10 years service and the next it is aluminum cans.
I spent a lot of hours in that old girl.

I taxied out from NZAA yesterday and NBV was parked on a remote gate. It cut a lonely figure.
I do feel sorry for some of my younger colleagues whom will never get to fly them.
