A rather exciting Cessna!

Just as things were winding down today, another Aero Club member tried to wind me up by suggesting that some amphibian had landed at Wellington and was taxiing in towards the Club. Thing is, he was right, and it wasn't a wind-up.

This is one of very few amphibians I have seen, and apart from the Catalina at Wellington a few years ago, this would be the only one I recall photographing on land [or this close up]!

Anyway, the aircraft is a Cessna A185F, N60X. This is registered to a Wellington address, although I understand it might be based in Masterton. A real nice looking machine!

I was told at Omaka that it acquired the pin-up just before the airshow.
