Originally build in the US in the ’70s and then mainly flown in Canada this 185 was sold and operated by Air Safaris of Vanuatu from January 2011 until December last year when it arrived in NZ. The Cessna 185 Skywagon first flew as a prototype in July 1960, with the first production model completed in March 1961. The ‘F’ denotes the year of the particular model, this example being 1973. Alan said his Cessna will be for private use only and although it is a six-seater will only be flown as a four-seater. The C of A has been issued and Alan says the plane is going well and he is very happy with it. ZK-BFQ Cessna 172P Grant Bisset of Wanaka has always had a soft spot for the Cessna 172 so when the opportunity came to own one he and two others decided it would be a great idea.

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk first flew in 1955 and more 172s have been built than any other aircraft. Measured by its longevity and popularity, the Cessna 172 is the most successful aircraft in history and as of 2015, the company and its partners had built more than 44,000. The 172P, or Skyhawk P, was introduced in 1981. Grant says BFQ has undergone the Penn Yan Aero overhaul and conversion to 180 horsepower which will allow greater load carrying capability (MAUW 2550 lb) and should increase the cruise speed. BFQ recently received its CoA and Grant says it’s a pleasure to fly.
