Piper PA31 Navajo Air Ambulance

A Piper Navajo equiped as an air ambulance visited the Wellington Aero Club for refueling today. After a quick chat with the pilot [who did a bit of instructing at the Aero Club last year], I was given the OK to pop in and have a look. Apparently the aircraft is really good to fly with good, pilot-friendly characteristics.

On another note, it was a stinking hot day today. The ATIS was reporting 27 degrees [Celsius] at one stage, and it was humid. Kinda glad I was not stuck inside an aircraft today :-)

Here's a couple of pictures I snapped while it was here.

If it's set up as an air ambulance, did you not (or were you not pemitted to) photograph the interior other than the front office?

Gidday Martin!

I could have taken photos, it's just they probably would not have turned out that interesting [to me, anyway :-)].

Cheers,

Rodney

We use a Piper Cheyenne that looks similar to this company's plane. Pipers are beautiful.
