Hey KH. I think that's the main display. The rehearsal was on friday and the actual display was on saturday afternoon.

 

Ha ... I have no ideas. :pardon: Flew to Townsville again on 29 Sept. While T-birds and KC-10 tanker were gone, the two C17s were still there.

 

Sharing something closer to home. Introducing the 'Missionator'!!! :p Not the most pretty aircraft of the lot, but i think the decal is pretty cool. Thanks Liam for the info and the kind people of Aeromil Pacific. :drinks:

This Beech 1900D demonstrator is on tour in Australia as part of a world-wide tour. The arrival of 'Missionator' is also coincide with the Regional Aviation Association of Australia (RAAA)convention being held at Hyatt Regency Coolum, Sunshine Coast.

 

And here's some side catches.

 

One pretty mean looking and fast aircraft - Cessna Citation X (VH_XCJ). B)

Fairchild Metro IV (VH_TAG)

And attendees of the convention were entertained with the low pass of a P-51 Mustang and Fokker 100. But unfortunately sun already set at the time of the low fly-pass.

VH-FKA from Alliance did the honour. Pretty impressive to see it bout 100ft off the ground.

Awesome stuff, Kian! That Citation X has an awesome scheme, was lucky enough to see her pop into PER not too long ago.

 

Nice shot of -FKA "Black Betty" (She got her name as she flew for QQ in pseudo US Airways scheme for a while).

 

Pieter, i'm told Skywest have another F100 on the way (and -FNN is being returned to service after being stored for a couple of months)
