Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) CA-13 Boomerang, "Phooey", A46-139 (replica).
To this day, the Boomerang remains the only fully Australian designed and built fighter aircraft to enter production.
The Boomerang CA-13 with registration A46-139 was built in 1943, but due to a hard landing in 1944 was finally written off in 1946.
Years later, a replica of that CA-13 was built in the United States using parts from a T-6 and a CA-13 that received the registration NX32CS. As a tribute to the A46-139, the registration of the crashed 1944 aircraft was applied to the fuselage.
Today, the aircraft is owned by Classic Wings from Uden.
