Otago Aero Club Centenary Coming Up 5-7 February 2027

The Otago Aero Club was the first aero club to be formed in New Zealand in February 1927, and they are planning big celebrations to celebrate their centenary over the weekend of 5 - 7 February 2027.  In the lead up to this they are posting on Facebook and one of their recent posts has featured the venerable Cessna 152 ZK-EOJ which they operated between November 1988 and November 2013:

ZK-EOJ on line with the Otago Aero Club in January 1991.  The Falcon on the tail reflects its previous ownership with Falcon Flying Academy at Hamilton.  ZK-EOJ was part of a batch of 24 Cessnas of various models that were registered in the ZK-EO series in 1978/79.

And here is a recent photo of it at Momona just down the road from the Otago Aero Club's Taieri base.  It is now owned by Enfield Holdings Ltd and operated by Mainland Air, and they are the eleventh owners of the aircraft!
