“Fewer than 500 of the Otters were originally built, and they made their way all over the world. Recon Air president, Leuenberger finds them and collects them — and sometimes they’re in very rough shape. Leuenberger said the planes are sought after by mining companies, tourism operators, and even stars. They’ve done some for several celebrities, and they’re using them in different parts of the world. Some planes receive new engines and others are refurbished with leather interiors and outfitted with flat screen TVs.”
