Photo Comment

Ex 42-100578 and N61725. Sold by Audi Air to California Air Tours, ditched in Wrangell Narrows after taking off from Petersburg AK. on 26th June 1989 whilst on its ferry flight to its new home. The wreck was recovered and stored at Petersburg Airport for several years and although there was a plan to restore and display the aircraft at Juneau no progress was made by 2007. Current status of the aircraft is uncertain.
