Nothing further is known from then on. At one point though, CF-LBD is known to have flown down to the USA and back without the benefit of a CofA. After that was settled in Court, a Ferry Permit, from Canada to the USA, was issued. 680E-757-42, N8111G, was purchased by Thunderbird Aviation Inc., of Phoenix, Arizona on 25Mar77. On 13Jun85, they advised the FAA of a sale to Ben Whitfield, but no Bill of Sale or Application for Registration has ever been submitted and mail remains unanswered. I have a gut feeling that he bought both of these for parting out and also wonder whether he bought any others. Do any of our guys know the name and the nature of his business? Any kind of leads or information will be most welcome. Very Best Regards, Barry Collman ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:54:11 AM PST US Subject: Commander-List: Re: Ben Whitfield From: "N395V" Barry, There are a couple of RV pilos from Inyokern that hang out on either the Matronics RV chatlist or the www.vansairforce.net chatlist. If the planes are outside they will have seen them. You might post a note asking to talk to pilots from Inyokern on these lists. -------- Milt 2003 F1 Rocket 2006 Radial Rocket website http://www.excaliburaviation.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=112904#112904 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:16:48 AM PST US From: "Barry Collman" Subject: Re: Commander-List: Re: Ben Whitfield Hi Milt, Grateful thanks - I might try that route if nothing else turns up.
