                                        (below) departing Mascot almost a decade earlier in May 19723.  This DC-9 was delivered
                                        in March of 1968 to Ansett-ANA.  Like its sisters VH-CZA and -CZB it was ferried to Phoenix,
                                        Arizona in 1982 where it was converted to C-9B standard and leased to the US Navy, with BuAer
                                        number 162392.  It then went to Airborne Express as a freighter and was registered N948AX.
                                       Although currently still registered, it is in store in Cincinnati, Ohio.
