Notes:

Quite a catch, finding this Turbo Thrush all battered up, hiding from the strong midday sun. I could not get any details on her past, nor on her fate; but I sure hope to catch her flying again. Oh, the dangers of crop dusting! La Mina is a nice base not too far away from the Peruvian border.

Glad to see her in reconstruction again! Her first picture in the data base is that after a crash, but now she has been bought by Agroaereo, and she should fly by the end of the year! Data plate checked by myself
