I found some of them, actually a lot of them, at my home Airport in Wahoo, NE (KAHQ). A company called Sandhills Aviation took over our small airport FBO and opened their maintenance base here. They are an aerial surveying and imaging company. They had been operating mostly Cessna 172's until this year when their contracts changed which required bigger and faster aircraft. They started buying Aztecs. A lot of Aztecs. There were 5 on the ramp, three in the hangar, and one that just took off today when I left for my flight. They retro fit them with a large imaging pod on the belly. I'm told they are up to 22 of them now based mostly in Eastern Nebraska in the Omaha and Lincoln area, but they fly all over the US doing their aerial imaging. They have contracts with Google and Bing I was told. It's kind of a good time builder for the young Pilots trying to get some multi-engine time. Anyway, just thought I would share.
