Wasn't it Air France?

I think Air France and British Caledonian. The aircraft of Caledonian are now flying with British Airways if I'm not mistaken.

My question was the launch customers for the A-320 family, so the A-318, 319, 320 and 321.

Who was the launch customer of the IL-96 full freighter and how many did they order ?

Just a small sidenote for those who didn't know allready :
Volga Dnepr took delivery of its first modernised IL-76TD-90VD.

Sorry, I forgot to answer the second part of the question. AirBridge Cargo has ordered two IL-96-400Ts. In the future, they might get 6 to 8 airplanes.

As you might know, Sabena ordered 4 747s in total. Only one of these beauties is still flying. So my questions are:

1) Which one of the four (so what was its original belgian registration)?
2) When was it delivered to Sabena?
3) What is the name of the company this airplane is currently flying for?
4) What is its current registration?

Christophe

1) OO-SGD
2) 25/09/1990
3) AIR ATLANTA ICELANDIC
4) TF-ARY

Hello guys,

My name is "S.... Manzi" and I was officially born 1947-01-09 as number 261. I had two US ID-cards and finally a South-African one.
I'm a film celebrity and played in 4 films, the last one is "The Breed"(2005).
One of the others is "Supernova".
I'm feeling good in the water, in the air and on land.
I have 1059 brothers and sisters, and they were all born between 1945 and 1947.
They call my dad (designer) "Spence" because he hates his name.

Because of my age I don't remember:
1) my full name (S.... Manzi)
2) my dad's name and my official business name (+type)
3) my three ID's

Can somebody help me to get my memory back?

Thanx and good luck!

I think we're gonna have to wait for a very looooooong time before we 'll see the correct answer

Are you talking about a DC-3 (or a militairy variant of the DC-3) ?

Greetz,

Andries

Rago · Post by **Rago** » 25 Aug 2005, 17:05

Nope Andries!

There were only 2 of them registered with a "ZS" registration, and one of them crashed. I'm looking for the only bird of this kind who's still flying in South-Africa, and is operating from Cape Town.

From the 1060 build, there were only about 100 exported out of the USA...
Quite popular in Scandinavia...

BTW it is a 3 but not a DC

I think it's the Republic RC-3 Seabee ZS-ORX

Name: Shaya Manzi
Dad: Percival Hopkins "Spence" Spencer
Me: Republic RC-3 Seabee #261
My ID's: NC6081K, N6081K and ZS-ORX
