Blue Bus has reminded me that we have another Cessna 120 registered in New Zealand, and has sent the photo below, taken at Rangiora on 17/5/14. I have therefore altered my previous post.
ZK-XTX (c/n 11759) was registered on 13/1/09 to FG Vernon of Queensland and ownership transferred to Kevin Langford of Rakaia on 22/11/13. It is easy to see that it is ex N77317, and before that it was NC77317. I believe it is currently inactive.
With the rear cabin window, is that not a Cessna 140? Does this aircraft have flaps?
ReplyDeleteThe Cessna 120 was an economy version of the 140 produced at the same time and within the same c/n run between 8000 and 15075.
ReplyDeleteIt had the same engine as the 140, but lacked flaps.
The rear-cabin "D" side windows and electrical system were optional.
Both the FAA & NZCAA list it as a 120.
ZK-XTX is a rag wing without flaps.
