Description: this factory fresh Piper was on March 20 2007 registered to Ben-Air Flight Academy (BAFA), a flight school established on May 19 1980 as Ben-Air changing to its current name on October 5 1999 and based at Antwerp airport. The airframe made three days later (March 23 2007) its first test flight, here seen at it home base in their blue livery with "BAFA" tail titles and on its nose small "Ben Air Flight Academy titles" (see also upper left inset). On February 8 2011 it was damaged when it overran the runway at Kiewit airfield. It was transported to Antwerp airport, repaired by Winters Aviation by using the wing of OO-MAH and went in 2011 to the Royal Antwerp Aviation Club (R.A.A.C.) established on November 3 1927. On January 29 2019 it was damaged during taxi at St Truiden Air Base and not repaired afterwards. Instead the tail rudder was used for OO-PEG while the rest was sold to P. Winters registered to him on May 2 2019. After this owner passed away the damaged airframe was transported by road to Hungary where it was repaired. On October 14 2019 it was cancelled from the register and became afterwards on November 13 of the same year "HA-BAK" for Tréner KFT.
