Bankstown 28/12/2012

[Grahame Hutchison]

The weather this morning was perfect for photography, so I headed out to Bankstown for a look around. I have not been out flying for a while because of a knee injury that requires surgery early in the new year, so this was going to be my end of year hit of Avgas and Jet A. The air was clean and temperature high as I headed out around the aprons to see what I could find.
