Former RAAF Orion to Fly Again

摘要

Lockheed AP-3C Orion A9-753 is to be restored to flying condition by Australia's Historical Aircraft Restoration Society (HARS). Built as 160753 and delivered to the RAAF in May 1978, the aircraft was upgraded to AP-3C standard in 2011 and has been used in local and overseas operations, including the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 that was operating flight MH370. It arrived at its current home, Albion Park, Illawarra, New South Wales, in December 2016.
