Baron VH-KCN Sold

 April 1 
It's not an April Fool's Joke - long time Archerfield aviator Keith Carmody has sold his low time (2800hrs) B58 Baron after 25 years of incident free ownership

Keith's aircraft VH-KCN was unusual in that it had consecutive engine numbers AND identical time on both engines and props

As with most - if not all other "used" twin engine aircraft - they have had some sort of problem or mishap during that time span which would require at least one of the engines and/or propellers to be replaced

KEITH'S LAST DEPARTURE
