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 |
