Soo.....they gave it a reg that used to belong to a Cessna...

Do they need FAA approval for a reg or can they just slap any old reg on as long as there's no engine starts/taxi/takeoffs
Great shots Manny
Just a heads up, Kalitta 727 is planned for arrival just before 2pm. I wonder if it will be "Tex Sutton" livery?
In any event, and 727 and 707 together at FRG... doesn't get much better than that.
Tom, nice find. Pretty cool!
Yes, I thoguht that was a Shorts type Ac this morning. I think I read that this episode would make Republic the scene of Haiti in the 1960/70s, probably to look at the rise of the Duvalier regime. So my assumption is that the Shorts/Sherpa looking prop was also used in the shoot?
Very cool. I recently learned that my grandfather was the photographer for the President of Haiti back in the day. Its in the genes!
nope, it was pet airways Shorts
Glad I got to see this great aircraft tonight. Good to see Manny and Mike - and thanks for the use of your stepladder.
Also got a look at the 727 parked there as well, and couldn't help thinking how rare this was - a 727 and a 707 at FRG!
