VH-CZD Douglas DC-9-31
(c/n 47065)
Here's -CZD at Tullamarine
in October 1981. Photo by Danny Tanner. Greg Banfield saw
it
(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.
