Photo Comment

Built in 1978, imported in 1991 and based at Kindersley/SK in 2023. If you look closely, the engine is running but nobody is in the cockpit. The pilot was sitting in a lawn chair eating a sandwich so I asked him what he was playing at. He said he was going to change the oil and wanted to keep the engine hot until he'd finished his lunch. Those ag-pilots are breed apart!
