[Leica] [OM] IMG: Working Aircraft

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks, Peter.  I was not aware of the background of the aircraft. It is 
now flown by Chris Rounds and is based at his family's hangar in 
Tullahoma.  He flies it when he can put it to work.

I researched the aircraft and found it belongs to Copperhead Environmental Consulting, of Paint Lick, KY.  I don't know their plans locally, but they have been tracking endangered bats that have been fitted with tracking transmitters, and also have been doing census counts of raptors.
