This TBM 700 is based on a station near Cloncurry, Qld. It was registered new to EADS/SOCATA in December 2005 as F-OIKD. A few weeks later it was allocated the US registration N794CA, but this was not taken up and the aircraft was exported to Australia for MDH, becoming VH-CZM(3) on 2 February 2006. In the good old days, VH-CZM was in one of the 'Ansett blocks' of registrations.
