| “Serial Number 31, FAA Registration N4453 was built in 1967 and then later leased in 1976 to Aaron Spellings Hollywood Production company for the Fantasy Island TV series. In the mid-1980’s N4453 was confiscated by the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics for drug smuggling. Subsequently it was sold at auction, and by 2001 it was rescued and completely refurbished and restored to its present, immaculate, show quality condition. Specifications subject to verification upon inspection. The owner describes it as ............ It's a beautiful plane....the dead last one built, the lowest time one there is, and the highest horsepower of any of them ......it is probably one of the best known planes on this planet.....more people seem to know what is than the Spirit of St Louis or the Enola Gay.......” |
