Interior Notes: Stripped skydiving configuration: single pilot seat, bare metal floor and a jumper loading placard. Right cabin door removed for jump operations.

Surface corrosion and paint loss on the cabin floor tunnel around the fuel selector and flap handle, and on the forward cabin side panels.
