Omaka Misc 27 and 28th May.

Perhaps the most well known Cessna 185 to me is ZK-CBS c/n 185-0398.


                                             An earlier post on ZK-CBS can be seen here :- 
It then spent a short period with Sam Richards of the Windwistle Syndicate from April 2016 until returning to Nigel at Patchett Ag-Air 2015 Ltd in September 2019.

Cessna A185F ZK-CDM3 c/n 18503403 flew into NZ as YJ-CCM on 03-12-2018 to join our register on 18-03-2019 with ownership passing to Carl Jackson at Blenheim in March of 2020. 
Carl recently repainted it from its all white scheme with its title passing to his Vine First Ltd in mid-February

Cessna 180A ZK-CDY c/n 32968 was originally ZK-BUP from August of 1957 becoming ZK-CDY in October of 1963.


It carries the Whitiki Ngati Porou script with a photo montage of C Company of the Maori Battalion on the tail, to assist with Covid vaccination programme on the East Coast of the North Island.
