Striking and unusual colours on this Kaydet. This aircraft is ex US Navy N2S-3 4320, which by 1964 had become N62418. In the 1970s and 1980s it was used as a cropduster, based in Louisiana. Eventually withdrawn from use, the registration was cancelled on 9 Jan 1990. Jean Salis had bought it, and it was registered to him on 27 Apr 1990 as F-AZGR. Sold in 2003 and registered to Jean Marc Viard and three others on 22 Aug 2003. Initially painted in green "Air BP" colours, promoting BP Oil. By 2013 it had been painted in these nice tiger colours.
