| 2143 / PA-143 (cn 2143) But for its relative rarity, this could be a throwaway shot. Taken six years and three cameras ago, this is HAF ship 143 making his turn for final upon arriving from Crete. I painted this aircraft in great detail for Microsoft Flight Simulator (for AFG), and seeing this one of a kind aircraft "in person" was a real treat! | |||

| 2153 (cn 2153) I always get a sense of nostalgia when I see a retired aircraft. I think about all the places it has been, the wonders it has seen, and the weather it has conquered. Nothing however, can save this YS-11 from the inevitable effects of time. September 9, 2003 | |||
