Last
flight (18 minutes) by Annette Barnes (pilot) and Greg Ackman (co-pilot).
TT: 6754:54. To this date the aircraft had been maintained by Delta Aviation
Services Pty Ltd., Camden, NSW. (Source: 1) "The aircraft was withdrawn from service during the global financial crisis because the engine required an overhaul. We planned the last flight for sentimental reasons as Annette Barnes was the last student to be trained on VH-SCK and she soloed in the aircraft which she had named Tommy Boy. I originally purchased it from Lindsay Lobwein in 2006 as a gift to her so she could learn to fly in her own aircraft." (Source: 3) |
