VH-KTD Piper PA31-310 Navajo
(c/n 31-574)
Versatile Farm Machinery was the owner of –KTD when David Carter
photographed it at Mascot
in 1976. It had
been registered since July 1970 after flying to Australia as N6636L. In
its final years,
–KTD was being used for
skydiving, with rails bolted to the outside of the fuselage above
and below
the cabin door . CASA revoked the Navajo’s
registration in July 2009. At the time, the owner was
General
Aviation Maintenance of Essendon. Unlike most such
revocations, –KTD’s was not revers-
ed and the registration has
since been reallocated.
