Ex Cartersville-based Phoenix Air, one of the last G159 operators, and withdrawn from use by 2003. Initially stored at Cartersville minus engines and used for parts. Registration cancelled in Jan 2005 and immediately re-used on Phoenix Air's G-1159A c/n 313. The G-159 fuselage minus wings and tail fin was trucked to an open meadow along the Leake Mounds-Etowah Riverwalk Connector Trail in early 2006. It has since been overgrown by brush and small trees, and has attracted considerable attention from graffiti artists. Dataplate inspected by the photographer. Photo by: Jerrod L Meadows
