Bankstown - Final Look For 2010

[Grahame Hutchison]

The aircraft I normally fly is away for a month on a round Australia trip, so this morning was an opportunity to check out a suitable replacement for January from the Schofields fleet.

Afterwards I had a good walk around the airport and photographed the following ....

VH-YYT Embraer Phenom 100
It's difficult to get small jets like this to look good, however I think Embraer have done a fairly good job with this one.


VH-YYT Embraer Phenom 100
I think the nose with this livery looks particularly good on the Phenom 100.

The Phenom 100 looks a little sleaker nose on compared to the profile view.

The wingtip strobe looks to have an array of around 20 LEDs
