ZK-JQF has the same scheme as those operated by Super Air (Australia... no relation to the NZ operation) based at Armidale. I believe there are three Crescos in their fleet, there is still a bit of Fertiliser work in the Mid Northern NSW area.
There is a clip of one of the Crescos in this scheme operating of an Aussie strip on Youtube.

I'd still love to see a shot of 30/TML in Far North Service. I ask as we are rebuilding her at the moment and there is a lot of paint on there, I'm interested to see the different schemes she has worn over the years.
As far as "our" Crescos go:
LTC was involved in a fatal accident last year and is in store
LTV, LTY, LTN, LTL, LTH, LTZ are all flying productively
LTS and LTK are in our hangar for major overhaul and rebuild

Just to clarify the TMN issue, the machine in Fury's picture is the first TMN, s/n 10, which was the first of the PT6 Crescos........... we looked after TMN /10 at Aeromotive when I was there - I remember entering the flight hours into the system to track engine component life. It was not unusual to see one day with 10hours, 120 landings, 2 starts! Was this the one that we had to replace the spar straps on due to it exceeding it's fatigue life early? I have a hazy memory of the rego, the aircraft itself stood ut because of the damage it used to fly in with. |

ZK-LTA looks like it is unfortunately no longer with us. I think VGP posted a photo of this Cresco, but the source has now been deleted so here are a couple of ZK-LTA at Napier in 2006 doing a very late afternoon engine test run   |
