Hi John,
Thanks for the response.
I see the history of Jet Ranger N99ZA as:
N10EW, N81502, N691S, N99ZA
It is still current as N99ZA.
The Long Ranger history:
N607PD, N22ZA
Again still current as N22ZA. Both appear to be currently for sale through different agencies.
Picture is definitely the Jet Ranger but painted as N22ZA or N32ZA with some evidence of Nx9xA showing through.
I don't see any valid reason for the Jet Ranger to be flying in seemingly false marks belonging to the Long Ranger in September 2008! Ferry/maintence is an interesting suggestion but not convincing as a reason.
I might send Zip, seemingly operator at the time, an e-mail to see whether they respond - one never knows what might emerge...
Pete
