Well i managed to get off 214 shots but sadly i was working and could'nt be infront of the action. I was working down at the old 805 sqn hangars with the squirrels, at least we managed to get six in the air for the flypast.

I was stoked that the f18 parked down near where we were working along with 2 hawks and the temora canberra. Also had a pelair westwind and an old tracker airframe.

Tracker airframe, probably has some history behind it.

Well more to come as i edit them.

Cheers for now

Did the Tracker fly?

[damien b]

Great photos guys, looks like it was a good day out.

[Andrew McLaughlin]

Did the Tracker fly?

Fast taxi only Brendan. They reckon it'll fly early next year.

[Brenden S]

At least they have the tracker running and huey, I hope next step will be the 2 dak's as well.
