VH-XGN

Man, it is fun to see what pops up in here!

I last flew XGN on 25 March 1990. Did a run picking up ballot boxes after a State (I think) election. YBTL-YIGM-YGNV-YKID-YEIN-YFSA-YBMA-YBTL

Landed at YIGM with the airstrip completely surrounded by floodwater. No ballot boxes to pick up there!

Had a bird strike taking off from YIGM - thwack! Flew to Greenvale with the gear down - only sign was blood, guts and a few feathers on the retractable step!

Last I heard of XGN it was sitting on a station strip south of Hughenden - with its tail in the air - and a collapsed nose wheel.

Good to see the old girl again!
