| | This 205 was originally purchased by Fullana Enterprises in 1963. This was mainly a big Construction Co. in Puerto Rico who also owned and constructed a Hotel in 1963 in th island of Lobos, 6 mi. from the eastern coast of PR. The airplane was used to ferry guests between San Juan and Lobos as well as for the use of the executive personnel from the Company. The pilot was my very close friend Paco Julia, with whom I, as a student pilot did a lot of flying in this aircraft. He himself ferried this airplane from Wichita to PR when it was purchased originally. I, although retired now from flying, have held a Commercial Pilot's license for the past 44 years. Paco and I still mantain a good friendship. We are both in our late sixties and both retired from flying. Paco retired both as a civilian and military pilot (National Guard) after 35 yrs. and 13,000 hrs. of flying. |

| | This aircraft was originally purchased new from Cessna in 1963 by 'FULLANA ENTERPRISES', a well known Construction Co. from Puerto Rico. In 1963 they had built a hotel in Lobos Island, 6 miles off the eastern coast of Puerto Rico. The airplane was to be used ferrying guests from San Juan to the hotel and back. The pilot was my good friend Paco Julia. I was then a student pilot and flew with Paco in this airplane many times to Lobos and other places in the Caribbean. I have held a Commercial Pilot's License for 44 years. Both Paco and I, although now retired from flying for some years, still share a good friendship. If anybody have any info as to this airplane's 'deregistration' and the reason, please let me know. Also any info about this aircraft would be appreciated. |
