VH-MIT
(2) Piper PA-18 150 Super Cub
(c/n 18-4448)
Paul Mitrega operated an ag business as Mitair. He
built his house on the boundary of Cowra airfield,
and parked his
aircraft at the house. The above Geoff Goodall shot was taken by in
February 1966 as
Paul was
hosing out the chemical spray
hopper while his wife was hanging their washing on the clothes
line
close by! The Super Cub replaced
the Tiger with which Mitrega started his business, and was the
former
Wagga Flying School's VH-WFD.
The aircraft crashed near Cowra on 5 March 1967 and
sadly
Paul Mitrega was killed.
