This immaculate Navajo Panther is used on charter work and was waiting for some passengers at Bendigo. Note the new winglets, cowlings and four-bladed Q-tip props of the Panther conversion. You'd hardly guess the aeroplane was a quarter century old. It crashed and was destroyed after a night takeoff at Bathurst, NSW on 7th November 2008 with pilot disorientation suspected as the cause.
