The first FU-24 saw almost 50 years' service as an agricultural aircraft. The turbine engine was installed in 1999. ZK-BDS crashed near Matawai after becoming caught in poor weather. The pilot and loader driver survived. Tony Arbon photo. This photo was added on 16 June 2023, and has since been viewed 299 times. |
