  1. Flight Aware shows this plane flying Monday October 5th from near Wheatland, WY to Greely CO. Strange if the accident happened in July 2020, and it is being sold by the insurance company as "Salvage"

  2. Its serious when Beegles Aircraft Services, which offers a complete turnkey service (including disassembly and transport) and specializes in major structural repairs, has not opted or been offered to repair.

    1. Ok, but my question is why is it shown "flying" in Oct 2020 if it's salvage?

    2. Yeah but how do we know they did *not* do basic repairs to get it airworthy to fly in this positioning only flight on 10/5? The title is registered as a salvage and that's how by law they have to sell it. Just like a salvage titled vehicle that has been repaired and up for sale. Based on the damage here and the photos of aircraft they have worked on, this would be an easy repair for them to get it airworthy passing for a repositioning flight.

    3. This was not a repositioning flight. The accident happened at Greeley, CO (GXY) on 07/13/2020 where the aircraft is already located. No repositioning necessary. So, why the flight from Wyoming to Colorado on Oct 5th 2020?
      According to FAA registration, The aircraft is still listed as owned

  3. I've seen my tail number show up in error 2000 miles away on flightaware.com. I think it can happen if ATC enters a tail number incorrectly on call up.

  4. Yes, I noticed a PA-22 flying at 30,000 ft. 325 knots level flight. This must have been an error.
