This airplane was purchased by Missionair and refurbished in 2000. We moved it to ISM and used it to transport short-time missionaries to Central America. Doc Helmer, the chief pilot and president of Missionair died in the crash of his Lancair IV in 2001 (N720BF). The G-I has since been sold to a new owner.
