Photo Comment

Still in faded New Zealand National Airways Corporation colours from its time as ZK-AOF. This Dakota was seized and abandoned at Aruba on 24 March 1979 after an illegal flight. On 14 August 1979 it was registered to Lemac Inc, from Bradenton, Florida. In the mid 1990s the DC-3 was removed from here and reportedly sank in the ocean to serve as a diver's object. Faded small Navair titles are still visible in front of the registration.
