kianhong 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) For warbirds, classic and vintage lover, these were some of the special aircraft I caught taking part in the Australia Day flypast. Cessna 180. Still carrying RFDS (WA) titles even though owned by a private owner. Cessna 170 Warbirds! I won't blame u if u think these aircraft are going to war. There're so many of them. Queen of Hearts. Chipmunk DHC-4 Swiss Aviation Bulldog. Very sleek looking warbird. Christen Eagle II Tiger Moth & Boeing Stearman. They were part of 'Formation Alpha' which consist of 8 warbirds that departed in pair. Nord 3202. Very interesting looking main gears. Nanchang CJ-6. Smart looking grey, nice departure from the usual military green. Getting a bit too close. Piper L-4A. Military version of Piper Cub. Tiger Moth & CASA Jungmann Beech D18-S Trojan T-28 Piper Cub from Air Ads The black shiny Fox Moth! And the immaculate Stinson SR-8C. What a beautiful machine. Some special visitors as well. Not one but two Lake Buccaneer. Sky Arrow 650 Cheers. Thanks for viewing. Edited February 4, 2009 by Pieter C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MIR 2 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 Wonderful shots, Kian Hong!! Love the Beech D18-S Fox Moth looks quite unique to me- pilot sits at the back in an open cockpit & passengers in an enclosed cabin at the front . The "music" of those classics must be really amazing ! Thanks for sharing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kianhong 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2009 Very happy to see this 60th Anniversary Edition 1947-2007 Beechcraft Bonanza G36. Though look very similar like what SFC's flying from the exterior, this Beechcraft Baron G58 is almost a completely different aircraft to me, especially the avionic. Lucky to get two Police PC-12 togerther (VH-WPE & VH-WPY) Very cool cockpit of this Police PC-12. Cheers. Thanks for viewing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TK 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 N530WC... Regular SZB-Seletar... Now in Perth...wooo....so far... Is the G58 Baron pressurize? I think so with the look at an intake above engine cowling. Jandakot seems to have many many PC-12....heaven Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kianhong 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 Modified engines ? 1st time I see those air-inlets on top of the cowlings... It's still the same IO-550 300hps engine but equipped with full glass cockpit. Probably G1000 like the Bonanza. Those are engine air inlets. Don't think it's a recent introduction. SFC which operate 2 variants of Baron 58 with different engine (300hp vs 285hp) have those air inlets all this while. N530WC... Regular SZB-Seletar... Now in Perth...wooo....so far... Is the G58 Baron pressurize? I think so with the look at an intake above engine cowling. Jandakot seems to have many many PC-12....heaven Ohh ... SZB n Seletar regular huh. PremiAir hangar which is right beside SFC seem to be a authorized maintenance base for PC-12. We see quite some regular PC-12s coming in for maintenance every few months. Unfortunately, it's not pressurized. Baron 58P is the only pressurized variant. Yup... when I retire, I think I'll choose Jandakot.. that's if I can retire.... Good choice. The varieties of GA aircraft in Jandakot never cease to amaze me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
