Photo Comment

A history of modifications starting with a Volpar trigear in 1961. That was followed by a Conrad 9800D upgrade. Then came JATO Junior rockets in the rear of the engine nacelles. The final modification was a Vance Breese raised cabin roof with enlarged windows. So modified, N115V would be impounded twice for carrying illicit drugs (1981 and 1982) and was struck off the register in 2012.
