Gallery Update: Unique Sightings at Spanish Fork

In my never-ending quest to photograph some of the more unusual aircraft sightings, I came across a few interesting aircraft (including a type I've never heard of or seen before!) when I went into work today.

Spanish Fork-Springville (SPK) 26

Preview:

Owyhee Air Research Vulcanair P68 Observer 2 (N17ZX) parked on the ramp. This is an Italian-made, twin-engine light transport aircraft. First built by Partenavia as the P.68 and later by Vulcanair for private and business use as well as for both training and transport, the aircraft was designed by Italian engineer Luigi Pascale. Quite a unique visitor for Spanish Fork!

Face-to-face with the P68 Observer 2. P68s with the more transparent nose are typically used for observation and law enforcement, ideal for Owyhee Air Research, an aerial infrared surveying and natural resource data acquisition company based in Murphy, Idaho.

Side-view of the P68 Observer 2.

AirGyro Tercel (N557AT) on short final for 30 working the pattern. Since I last saw this airframe, it has been repainted and given a Fire Rescue look. It seems like AirGyro Aviation is pushing to advertise their gyroplanes for unique roles.

Platinum Aviation Diamond DA-20-C1 Katana Eclipse (N992CT) on short final for 30 working the pattern.

Cessna 170B (N170SB) on short final for 30.

Pilatus PC-12/47E (N358MB) on short final for 30 arriving from St. George.
