This aircraft just had its registration renewed on 3/21/2023 in the name of Wyoming Valley Air, LLC of Old Forge, Pennsylvania. So it does not seem to be the abandoned, unloved derelict as it might...

I have recently found myself in need of a skin repair to the trailing edge of the elevator. It's a long story having to do with a snow plow and a hangar door that I won't go into here. I retained the...
