Arriving at Rangiora today was the ever faithful Cessna 180 A ZK-BUF (c/n 32935), based locally with Gary Hood. I seem to recall her in the bad old days as the "Slipper Clipper"
Although this Corby CJ-1 Starlet has featured before - I could not resist another blog shot of her.
ZK-MGM is c/n 152.
For an earlier post on MGM see :- http://nzcivair.blogspot.co.nz/2011/08/corby-starlets-of-new-zealand-2-and.html
Ownership is currently listed with Rod Web and Ron Bannister of Lyttelton.
BUF's original livery from the Wichita production line was polished silver, with red and black highlights ..stunning!
ReplyDeleteEach one has it's own soul for want of a better word and BUF was always a stunning machine right from the word go the moment she first arrived at the Akld Aero Club
