Cessna 172N Skyhawk

And who said size does not matter ?
ZK-MAP was up doing some survey work in the dark the other night. Not sure what for. They have been doing some photographic work for Google in recent months.
ReplyDeleteZK-DGT was Tauranga-Auckland-Christchurch on Tuesday. I've not seen it since it flew with VIP Air Charter, looks tidy.
Good to see EJQ again.
ReplyDeleteI flew quite a few hours in it while it was at Ardmore in the 1990s.
As I remember it, the interior was a bit (read: quite a bit) scruffy at that stage. The dashboard was hanging loose, only retained by a couple of pk screws. That didn't impress the nervous passengers very much.
