Photo Comment

After its early morning efforts elsewhere, seen here resting in the afternoon, home at Hearst Air Service's Carey Lake base. First flew in 1956 as 55-3306 with the US Army, including periods of military service in West Germany. Crashed following engine failure in 1985 when operating for Red Lake Airways. Only rebuilt some eighteen years later, by Recon Air at Geraldton, when Hearst Air supplied a PT-6 engine and a Vazar conversion was completed. It joined Hearst Air's fleet in August 2004.
