"I
picked up 007 from the production line in Orange City, Iowa on April 16th, 1974. Flew it to Des Moines, St Louis, and
Mena, Arkansas, where it was painted. Later, (May 30 & 31) flew two trips to Lancaster, Pennsylvania with it. I
took it on a local test flight after that on July 11th, just before it was flown to Peru, South America by pilots Eddie Lind
and Dave Wickersham. In Peru, it was Registered as OBM-1085. Our records show that it was sold by JAARS in
August, 1985".

jungle, south of the Maranon River. I was flying a Helio Courier on floats so Steve lowered the gear to slow to 105
knots."
