All three of the Mid Canterbury WASSI Tomahawks

 On Sunday all three of the Mid Canterbury Aero Club Piper PA-38-112 Tomahawks were lined up at their home base of Ashburton.

All three are 1979 models with ZK-JRS being c/n 38-790896. ZK-MAJ with c/n 38-790517 and ZK-NJT being c/n 38-791139.

All three are owned by the Walsh Aviation Support Society Inc and are on line at Ashburton. 
They all carry WASSI titles on their fins.

ZK-JRS has been on line with the Club since 05-12-2023.

ZK-MAJ joined the Club from 16-04-2024.
It had also just arrived back in Ashburton following a repaint.

ZK-NJT has been listed with the Mid Canterbury Aero Club since 01-07-2024.

Now these were not just 'repaints'. They were closer to restorations, or at the very least major refurbishments from Jay McIntyre and the JEM Aviation team, including master painter Marty Nichol at Omaka.

The Club also operates the Piper PA-28-181 ZK-EBZ c/n 28-7790262 - and has done since 25-05-1990.
And the Jabiru J150 ZK-JRW c/n 0102 since 25-03-2016.
