Still in the colors of former operator Lee County Mosquito Control District, N834M lands a few minutes before sunset. Turin Aviation acquired the aircraft from the Wings of Dreams Aviation Museum in Keystone Heights, Florida and, after a bit of TLC over the past few weeks, the venerable aircraft completed her first flight in almost 4 years. With landing gear extended, the ferry flight from Keystone Heights to Tampa Executive was made at a leisurely 110 knots. Turin plans on restoring the aircraft at nearby Zephyrhills Municipal Airport and attending the 2019 "Daks Over Normandy" event. This photo is copyright © Ralph M.
