Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) G'day guys and girls. Just thought I'd share some random images from Perth that I have dug up from my collection, apologies for the quality. Some are older than others...enjoy... Fokker 50 VH-FNA, parked on the ramp for a day of cabin crew training 727-277F VH-VLH, workhorse of the aussie skies. A pleasure to photograph. BAe 146-200 VH-JJS, this really brings a tear to my eye. Vale Ansett now with Hemus Air as LZ-HBC 747-4H6 9M-MPF being loaded as MAS0124 back to KUL 747-236BF TF-ATX being loaded for its flight to KUL. Ad-hoc Charter BAe 146-100 VH-NJE, having some minor work done on APU number 3 Overview of part of the domestic ramp... BAe 146-200 VH-YAD. For Azahan! Oh, this one was of me taxiing in at Jandakot, in my pride and joy (for the moment). Piper PA28-161 Warrior II VH-FES. 1 POB Edited November 10, 2005 by Liam Gibb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted November 10, 2005 Cheers guys, VH-JJS has now gone and looks like this: LZ-HBC VH-JJT, also a 146-200 remains static at PER airport, and unfortunately she is destined to remain grounded for the rest of her career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted November 11, 2005 Sandeep, Sunday man. If your gonna get your head out of the books lah! Azahan, no that one is ex- Qantaslink/Southern Australia which when that went, came over to Perth for Qantaslink/Airlink, its lease ended and was transferred to National Jet, the company who own her to expand their own charter services.

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted November 21, 2005 Nice picture of the AN124 !!! Did you notice the special towbar they have to use for this one ??? All An-124's carry a tow-bar at all times, as their aint to many ports that keep one. Although in mid-2003 we had one in Perth to cater for a flood of C-5A/B's, and An-124's over about 6 weeks (6 and 12 respectively). What's that above the Hibiscus ??? VOR-beacon ??? Haha, Sandeep, maybe it was MF? No, its actually HF Antennae, don't ask me why we have them here, as PER is fully VHF equipped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
