The plane belongs to a very dear friend. Some years ago it was leased by a flight school in Mass. A student at the controls had a bit of a close encounter on the runway, causing quite a bit of damage to the right wing, and fuselage, and breaking some of the windows. After that mishap, the plane sat for a number of years in our friend's garage. Once an aircraft has been involved in any kind of crash it is considered "cursed" and no one really wants to fly it! We proposed stripping the plane of it's engine and electronics, and suspending it, pilotless, in flight. He loved the idea, and we loved the opportunity to expand upon our aviation theme! And that, my dear is the story of the airplane.
