VH-EHW Cessna 182M
Skylane
(c/n 18250778)
Registered to Moorabbin Cessna agent Schutt Airfarmers in July
1969, VH-EHW had been
N71850 before being shipped to
Australia. Schutt retained the aircraft and it was used on
his
Outback Safari tours. These were aimed mainly at American
pilots who wanted to explore
Australia from the air. In 1976 –EHW was owned by a
Griffith, NSW, business and it was
at Griffith that David Carter photographed it (above) in 1977.
The Skylane was still current
in October 2016 and operated as a skydiving aircraft with Reef Airways
at Mackay.
