This fairly old A109 was first registered new in Australia as VH-NEC on 11 August 1989, but it looks as good as new in this stunning black and silver colour scheme.

In 2008 Canberra-based Brindabella Airlines gave this Metro a new coat of vanilla paint and currently has it offered for sale. Evidently they are still using it in the meantime. The aircraft has an interesting history: built 1982 as Merlin IVC, cn AT-513. Re-delivered Dec 86 to Texas National Airlines as N3108H. Passed through several hands before moving to New Zealand in Feb 89 - became ZK-NSV with Air Nelson. Returned to US registry Jun 03 as N513FA. VH-TAO 1 Oct 2003.

This Shrike Commander is perhaps unique in being fitted with supplementary hand controls to enable it to be flown by people with leg disabilities. Mirage Air is normally based at Moorabbin, so the aircraft was probably at Essendon for maintenance. It was built in 1978 and first registered in Australia on 23 March 1981.
