Photo Comment

Otter number 300 was delivered to the Indonesian Air Force (T-202) on November 27, 1959. It flew with Merpati Nusantara from 1962 (and registered PK-NUF in January 1969). Registered PK-VOM to Dirgantara Air Service, the aircraft was returned to the Air Force in 1980, sold in Canada (C-FOSM) and apparently stored. A Vazar turbine conversion and re-build started in 1994, rolling out as N79JJ in 1997 for Prof Fate Inc (a James Jannard company who also owned Oakley Inc, maker of designer sunglasses). Pictured with Kenmore Air (registered in December 2022) in the previous owner's color scheme.
