The importation of Cessna 180/185's into NZ continues at a slow but steady rate.
One of the more recent additions to our register is the Cessna 185A Skywagon ZK-DXG2 c/n 185-0503 as listed to Skywagons Ltd of Twizel.
This airframe spent its early years from 1962 in Zambia as VP-YUN, VP-RUN and 9J-RUN before moving to South Africa to become ZS-FSV.
It was moved to Australia in February of 2009 and became VH-FSV from 25-01-2010.
It was sold on 16-12-2018 and cancelled from the Australian register on 07-07-2020 and was noted above at Pukaki (Twizel) still in VH marks in October last year.
Its NZ certification was carried out by Skywagons Ltd and became ZK-DXG2 on 11-03-2021.
Aaron Murphy captured (below) it in its NZ marks at Pukaki on 11-07-2021.
