UIA
To the best of my knowledge, after UIA had her accident on 31/12/84 her wings were removed and she was airlifted to a river ?? And strapped to a barge for the trip to I guess Port Moresby.
She was then purchased by another person whom I have met but cannot remember his name. He then contracted Narromine Aero Services - Dwayne Jobe to undertake full repairs.
I purchased her in 1996 and flew her back to WA with a total of 4 hours
Tailwheel time.
I am excited to hear that some of you have not only heard of UIA but also flown her.
I would like to totally strip and repaint UIA ( current colour is all white with a red and white tail as per Narromine Aero Services)
If anyone would have a photo of UIA I would love to see it.
Thanks
