Photo Comment

An aircraft with an interesting past, flew in the extraordinary TIFS (Total In Flight Simulator) configuration in the early 1970s, with an extra cockpit grafted onto the nose. Converted back to normal and bought by Great Lakes 12.79, name change to Air Ontario 1.81; to HP-1222CTH 4.92, HK-3969X 11.94, YV-OTC 3.00 and then apparently YV2079 in 2007 although no sighting recorded since 1999
