I purchased this plane brand new in 1979 from Hayward Beachcraft, Haward CA. I and the salesman flew to Los Angels, picked up the plane, and flew back to Hayward. At the time, I had zero-hour flying time, and I took my training in her. If memories serve me, I put in about 400 hours.

The information on engine for this Aircraft is not current. It has a AVCON conversion 180 HP Lycoming with constant speed prop

I aquired the plane in 2021, from Merredin W.A.
It was an ex China Southern Plane, it was mostly complete but had a few parts missing for use on other aircraft to keep them going.
Parts missing included, Propellor, Cylinders and Pistons, Aileron Operating levers, Trim Piiot bracket, Co-Pilots seat base.
I managed to get all the parts required from Grob, or the Royal Aero Club at Jandakot.
Rainbow Aircraft Maintenace got it going, and I am happily flying it in the Denmark and Albany region.

Glad to see she is still flying! I owned this aircraft from 1993 to 1997 and had a few adventures during that time.

Hello Sally Martzall...
You don't know me Mark Bright, But I was one of the original Co-Owners of your Grumman AA5B Tiger I believe you may have recently sold? My brothers and I (CasKade Swimming Pools) bought that plane brand new thru McKenzie Flying Services in Eugene, Oregon Apr. 1978... We added the first King KNS-80 RNAV sold in the state of Ore. when it was created by King, also added the Century 2 axis auto pilot and various other electronics... I logged around 400hrs in that plane before our business split up, and I loved every minute flying it out of Eugene to places all over the west coast and as far east as Boise, Idaho!

It's really nice to see it still flying after 44yrs now and I would love to hear from you personally, if you read this or regosearch will pass on my Email markabright @ msn dot com

Sincerely, Mark Bright

This aircraft was operated by Missionary Aviation Fellowship-North Australia from the mid 70's to around the late 1980's (from memory) based in Gove, Northern Territory. It was possibly the first Cessna U206F operated by MAF in North East Arnhemland? I also had the opportunity to fly it on a number of occasions, in my capacity as Chief Engineer, and holding a Private Pilot Licence (PPL), usually in relation to maintenance check flights. I was previously endorsed on the Cessna 206 Series, when I was based at the MAF Training Base, MAF-Air Services P/L in Ballarat Vic.

I was the passenger in this airplane when it crashed on 9/4/1976. As we were rotating on takeoff. The engine started loosing power. We made it about 1/3 of a mile from the Lake Elmo Airport and went down in a corn field. We stalled about 20 feet above the corn and struck the ground at a 45 degree nose down and wings level. The impact shoved the motor into the firewall fuel tank causing it to rupture and catch on fire. We climbed out of the aircraft and ran away. About 10 seconds later. The fuel tank exploded destroying the cockpit of the aircraft. I credit the pilot for maintaining control all the way to the ground which saved our lives.

Source ATSB

The ATSB has commenced an investigation into the collision with terrain involving an Airbus Helicopters EC 130 T2, registered VH-XWD, near Mount Disappointment, Victoria, on 31 March 2022.

In the morning, VH-XWD departed the Batman Park heliport on a charter flight to Tocumwal, with the pilot and 4 passengers on board. Another helicopter from the operator was also conducting the same flight in company. While en route, the pilot of the second helicopter lost contact with VH-XWD and notified their company. Soon after, a search and rescue operation was commenced. VH-XWD was subsequently located around midday, having collided with terrain near Mount Disappointment. The pilot and passengers sustained fatal injuries, and the helicopter was destroyed.

The evidence collection phase of the investigation will include examination of the wreckage by ATSB investigators, and the collection of other relevant evidence, including interviews with key involved parties, recorded data, weather information, witness reports, and pilot and maintenance records.

A final report will be released at the conclusion of the investigation. However, should a critical safety issue be identified during the course of the investigation, the ATSB will immediately notify relevant parties so appropriate safety action can be taken.

Je me rappelle avoir piloté cet avion-là, le Cessna-150 Cf-WHW à l'école de pilotage Bernard Crétaigne
de l'aéroport de Sherbrooke en 1969 ou 1970; j'ai fait mon premier solo à bord du WHW. Et je me rappelle aussi quand j'ai fait mon premier cross-country solo à Québec, les contrôleurs de l'aéroport avaient bien du fun en entendant l'immatriculation de l'avion quand je les avais contactés pour les
procédures d'atterrissage. Je ne sais pas ce qu'il était devenu après la fin de mon cours.

Care to share what your getting up to with that strange zig-zag flight path you left departing from Jandakot airpot heading up north of the river reaching Jindalee, then turning around to head back to Jandakot airpot again to land.

Happy for you to email me directly willchap50@gmail.com. Will attempt to uploaded a pic of aircraft in question to this site. Thanks. Bill Chapman

This is the twin I got my US multi-engine rating on. Took her all over the place. Visiting family in Batavia, NY, she has seen the Niagara Falls lots of time. Wonder how she looks now. Still white and green, with fake black stripes on wing edge pretending to be de-icer?

This aircraft was meticulously built and flown by my father in 2002. It was sold in the fall of 2020. The buyer disassembled the aircraft, trailered it across states, and reassembled it. It is not known if it was flows after reassembly. The buyer was not a certified aircraft mechanic.

I owned this nice B for many years (and miss her). Flew her all over Can and USA and on skis for a short while. While float ready I never flew on water,
I did the upgrades to the 0-300-d engine, many other mods mostly cosmetic in nature.
Did an even trade for a C182F for more speed and range.

I went to see this plane that is for sale in Texas. There is no FORM 337 for Garmin 750 and 430.

26th October 2020 4:42:24 AM
Hi, Used to own this nice bird. Did many mods on her and even the paint job.
She was once a military liaison plane assigned to an air vice marshal.
Probably the only 24 volt of that vintage. Long range tanks, flap gap seals, stall leading edges etc.
Prior to my owning she was an air cadet bird. She and I traveled many miles.
I got her in an even trade for a C 170B that I owned. as the B buyer wanted to go floats and my 170 was factory a float kit bird.
Nice bird, enjoy.

Hi there. If you re-read the EPA Victoria noise regulations, you'll see that these regulations apply to noise "from a residence".

19th July 2020 9:36:56 AM
Hi there. If you re-read the EPA Victoria noise regulations, you'll see the following Prohibited times: "Monday to Friday before 7 am or after 8 pm. Weekends and public holidays before 9 am or after 8 pm". So your today's (Sunday) 8:30am flight was a shameful act of disrespect towards the residents.

I was the owner of this aircraft for many years. I flew it mostly over Texada Island in the Georgia Straight off the airport runway as I was the Manager. I was a beautiful place to fly all day long as there were no thermals and the air was always smooth. I put several hundred hours on it before I moved back to Alberta. Due to an unfortunate accident I was no longer able to foot launch. I sold it back to the Manufacturer in absolutely mint condition several years ago. I really do miss it. I am now making Plans to build a RotorMobile.
