Nice shots Nigel and thanks also for sharing.
Got those serials Greg from the photos and thanks for the others Jonathan. That's an interesting article Greg as I remember some of those earlier aerobatic teams very well. BTW, I was the author for the PC9, BAe Hawk, Blackhawk and Seahawk pages on ADF Serials for several years until I resigned in about 2008 or 2009. Unfortunately, I copped severe criticism over a few matters so I thought, I'll let the "know it alls" take over. They didn't of course so the pages have only been occasionally updated and I have another 7 or 8 years of data that won't be added. Thanks once again guys. |

Wowsers, how close were you to that F-18 Nigel?!
I went on Sunday. The military aircraft and warbirds were great. The highlights for me were seeing Connie flying, then going on board, and then seeing VH-OJA for the first time. It was awesome being able to walk in, around and under it!! Had a great time. Thanks for posting the photos guys! |

The first shot was from the high speed pass and climb out that started the demonstration on Sunday. He was certainly moving! I'm guessing he was at around 750-1000'?

Did anybody actually *fly* in to WoI on the Sunday morning?
I had intended to, but was put off by the forecast of moderate to severe turbulence, thunderstorms 5nm off Wollongong, and strengthening winds. I'm just curious to know what conditions were *actually* like for anyone who gave it a go. Last edited by Carl St. Leon; 9th May 2016 at 01:47 PM. Reason: Strengthening *winds*, not wings!! |

Timing is everything
Roulettes Grounded Like all Air Force aircraft, the PC-9/A is subject to regular maintenance and engineering reviews. These engineering reviews have located cracks in the nose-landing–gear folding strut. Consequently, Air Force is assessing the implications of these cracks, so as to ensure the aircraft meet Air Force’s strict safety standards. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, each PC-9/A will undergo an additional engineering review, and remediation repairs, before returning to normal flying activities. http://news.defence.gov.au/2016/05/1...-fleet-review/ |
