TAA Cessna 180's in PNG
Back in Moree after years of inactivity at Lismore.
It's now 29 years since P2-MFU crashed at Awaba in the Western Provinces, but she'll soon be back in the air.

First start after 31 years in the back of hangars, can't tell you how emotional this was.

Good photo there Skywagon1915 along with a justifiably proud Owner/Rebuilder!
But why wasn't the beer an SP Longneck?

In the air again
MFU is almost a new airplane today.
She started as VH-MFU in 1972, became P2-MFU in 1974 and for rest of her PNG life until her accident at Awaba in 1990.
I was able to secure her old call sign when I acquired the 'project' in 2010.
