VH-AEN  (2)   Piper PA-28 Cherokee 140C                        (c/n  28-26646)

                             

                                The criteria for inclusion into the collection of photos on this website (so far as Australian civil aircraft
                                is concerned) is that they had to have been first registered in 1970 or earlier.   This Cherokee just
                                creeps in under the wire with its 9 October 1970 CofR issued date.  The aircraft was brand new at
                                the time and, oddly, had been allotted VH-AEN in Vero Beach and never did have a US rego. Does
                                that mean it was shipped in a box rather than being flown out?       Phil Vabre took the above shot at
                                Moorabbin in October 2007.   Currently, (2015) it is based at Tyabb.
