Funny that. It's almost like they've suddenly found use for them...

Nice set!

Oh. So has the requirement increased unexpectedly or was this always a planned return to flight? Must be one or the other.

I’m not sure what your point is. They’ve been sold to Chile, so they have to get them airworthy again. Therefore, yes, it is a planned return to flight.

ZH103 & ZH106 are the 2 flyers sold, They’ve been using 103 for all the training so far, I assume they are rotating the airframes.

Just keen for as much detail as possible. TYVM for your helpful answers and I'm sorry if my own posts seemed a bit short (in the bad sense!) - such was not my intention.
