My info came from a source who was involved in the cancellation of the work being done by outside contractors.I assume they were brought in while the corps techs concentrated on PC-9 training. It was his opinion that the aircraft would not be reassembled.Was the work completed by Air Corps Techs?
The Marchetti going to the museum has been decided-according the curator the excellent Airman Michael Whealan. What hasn't been decided is whether it will be kept for the museum long term or sold off.
Fantastic news re the third Dauphin! It's a major turn around from the interview with the GOC back in April. Two were going in the summer and the last on was due to be retired last month. There must have been a gaping hole in the operational capability when the fleet was reduced.
