Bruce Gavin sent an email regarding Island Air Charter/Adventure Aviation Ltd who operate a shuttle service between Tauranga and Motiti Island. On 21 January 2010 their Cessna 172, ZK-WGE, overran the airstrip at Motiti Island. None of the four people on board were injured.

The best 172 ever!
ReplyDeleteNever nice to hear of a prang, but -
ReplyDeleteI flew WGE at Ardmore just after Ace Edwards got it.
Static-ridden hand-held mike, wobbling sagging seats, massively out of balance rudder trim - the worst 172 experience I've ever had.
I flew just one circuit and refused to touch it ever again.
