Spartan Executive over Edinburgh

Post by Ledhead27 »

Just had a Spartan 7W Executive (N17616) rumble over Edinburgh at about 10,000ft. Doesn't appear to be one of the UK-based examples and it appears to have been recently sold. Any know where it's off to, bit of a beggar to spot but looks like it was heading south.

Showing on ADSB out of Reykjavik.

FlightAware has it registered to a company in Germany as of Jan 2020, so one would assume a delivery flight?

Thanks Dan. Good to see another example in Europe, fingers crossed it makes an appearance at an airshow in the future.
