VH-DJI Cessna 172E
Skyhawk
(c/n 17250860)
This Skyhawk was owned by Essendon based Sanderson Aviation when Danny
Tanner
took the above shot in November 1980. It was available for
hire. Looks
like an effort
was made to remove the BP badge on
the fin. This may have been a sponsor's logo during
an air race
or rally,
perhaps. First registered in June 1964, -DJI was written
off when
it crashed some 30
km east of Broome, WA on 23 June 1994. The aircraft lost engine
power at low
altitude whilst being flown on a station fence line examination, and
crashed
into heavy
bush terrain.
