[Leica] IMG: Working Aircraft

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

I made a brief stop at the airport this morning and found, among others, 
two aircraft that earn their keep by working with their owners.  The Red 
Knight airshow performer is being prepared for a job in Texas.

I spotted this Cessna Skyhawk II on the ramp and recognized the tracking 
antennae from photos in Nature Conservancy magazines.  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.
