VH-LFI Cessna 172H Skyhawk
(c/n 17255094)
This is one of
these aircraft that I waiver about whether I should include them or
not. Clearly it was
registered VH-LFI long after my
cut-off date of 31 December 1970 for inclusion in this selection of
photos.
It was originally the former VH-KWS, imported in late 1966
and was N1699F when ship-
ped out from
Wichita. In 1976 it became VH-KGB and in the late 1970s was
owned by the Tumut
.
Aero Club. In 2009 it was reregistered VH-LFI as a
replacement
aircraft for the Cessna 172G of
the same
registration
which was destroyed in a severe storm (180 kmh winds) at Gayndah, Qld
on
29 October
2007. Ian Mcdonell took the photo above at a
fly-in at Kingaroy in October 2014.
