Second wind for retired plane

*****************************

     The Government Flying Service has bequeathed one of its former planes to the community, to give the public an accessible keepsake of Hong Kong's aviation history.

     The Jetstream 41 fixed-wing plane was used for search and rescue missions, medical evacuations, law enforcement and aerial surveying for 17 years.

     It has been given a permanent resting place in Kai Tak Runway Park to play a new role - educating the public.

     News.gov.hk interviewed GFS officers to learn about the aircraft.

     The story appears on news.gov.hk today (July 15) in text and video format.
