Default RFDS Cessna 180

This aircraft has a bit of history. The Royal Flying Doctors Srvice used
this 180 out of Meekathara in Western Australia from 1960 - 1970. Almost
20 years later the man who was its pilot during much of that time came
across it sitting in a farm shed. 2 morgages and few years later he has it
fully restored using even the original instruments (in the cockpit photo the
original clock is missing, it was being repaired). It is now flying and very
much a part of the WA aviation scene.
