Operating for the US Department of Agriculture, FEPP (Federal Excess Personal Property), Natural Resource Department Forestry Division. Seen here at Fort Wainwright, Fairbanks, Alaska. Substantially damaged in a forced landing due to engine failure while conducting a timber survey in 2001. Rebuilt in 2002 and returned to its base at Palmer where I photographed it again with new registration N904AK and new yellow colours with a blue trim.
