Photos: Tyabb Air Show 2012

[Maikha Ly]

Hi folks

About two weeks ago, I went down to Tyabb, on Melbourne's Mornington Peninsula, for their Biannual airshow they hold at Tyabb Airfield, organised and run by the Peninsula Aero Club on Sunday 4th March 2012.

The airshow had a mixture of aircraft from warbirds, particularly those locally based at Judy Pay's The Old Aeroplane Company collection, as well as normal civil aviation aircraft types like Cessnas and a formation display featuring three Robinson Helicopters, just some of the many things they flew on the day.

The following are my best photographs from the day (And the night before), culled as much as I could to the following featured in this thread.

Hope you all enjoy them! :)

An interesting display of a Banner Towing aircraft

To begin the flying display, a Cessna, VH-PQQ, took off, did a circuit, and flew low level for the banner to be attached to the aircraft which it then carried skywards. The banner opened the Flying Display of the 2012 airshow, before it came back in to drop the banner and then another circuit for a landing.

Overall, a fantastic weekend, and I look forward to returning in two years time for the next one!

Hope you enjoyed the set. Sorry if it was a little long windered.

[Grahame Hutchison]

Great work Maikha, some really beautiful images there, and a great selection of aircraft on display.

[Tim B]

Note to self. Get down there the next time the airshow is on.
With the Phillip Island Historic car races normally a week later, it will give me my "wings and wheels" fix.

[Maikha Ly]

Tim, I returned to Melbourne the following weekend (Their Labour Day Long Weekend) and this race on Phillip Island was part of the agenda. Unfortunately I didn't make it, as like any long weekend, EVERYTHING is on!
