Registration Fleets

[Elvis Presley]

Thank you Joe. At Schipol now, nearly back home.
Re the reg fleet planes, as Donald Sutherland said, I don't know, I just drive 'em

I see there are 10 DC-3s at EGLK which is not a base and they are not shown as part of the main DC-3 fleet.

I just checked and I don't see any Dakotas at Blackbushe

got it.

The 'x. Registrations - DC-3' fleet consists currently of 10 Rans S7 Courier 's, not DC-3's.

This is part of the reason I started asking these questions.

At the moment I am thinking we should just delete the fleets and dump the 49 Aeroprakt Foxbat's, 43 Dornier Do-27's, 93 Rans S7 Courier's and 104 Scheibe SF-25 Motorfalke's.

I see no point in having such aircraft.

Can we make any money by selling them?

[simondix]

They are certainly not any use really. Different if they were DC-3s. Why are they shown as such. There are also Hermes shown.

[Elvis Presley]

The Dornier can carry 5 pax and 500 odd lbs of freight or 7 pax. It has a range of about 700nm and a ceiling 10k plus. All at a leisurely 100kts. It would be good if we were operating Equatorial or Australasian bush services but we are not. Perhaps there is an FSA operator that does do that sort of thing though, that would want them.
The rest are all home build kits and I can't imagine why they are there. Given away when purchasing something else?

If we were to put them up for sale it would probably take forever if the sold at all. I am tempted to just scrap them all, I think we would get 33% back but it’s something

[MALTBY D]

I think the cheap ones were just to keep hold of registrations of real aircraft which were possibly going to be needed in the future.
Think we had a few where a reg was randomly being used by some other VA and we couldn't use it for the 'real' aircraft.
