    Ain't no whining :) Besides, we traded. I beat you to posting on N39, and you beat me on N49. Looks as though we're even now... :borat:

    That Convair is lovely! Doesn't get any better than hearing those buzzing props, good stuff :borat:

    Do you guys know how often it flies, and where to?

    They both just left. N49 is on her way to Juneau:

    and N47 was briefly on flightaware yesterday but I don't know her destination today.
