Bankstown - Final Look For 2010
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.  VH-YYT Embraer Phenom 100  VH-YYT Embraer Phenom 100 The Phenom 100 looks a little sleaker nose on compared to the profile view.  VH-YYT Embraer Phenom 100 The wingtip strobe looks to have an array of around 20 LEDs  VH-ILB Beech C90A (LJ1375) 1994 - Professional Jet Aviation This aircraft is in really excellent condition after 16 years of service.  VH-ILB Beech C90A (LJ1375) 1994 - Professional Jet Aviation  VH-WNZ Cessna 550 Citation II (5500057) 1979 - Tasman Australia Airlines  N999XX Bel 407 (53257) 1979 Ex Jet Sales Of Stuart - Florida USA New import headed for Papua New Guinea, and it was a delicate job extracting it from the shipping container.  N28065 Bell 214B (28065) 1981 - McDermott Aviation (Bank Of Utah Trustee) Ready for fire fighting duty this summer. The water tank has been fitted since the last time I shot the chopper back in November.

Didn't bump into Dickie in your travels did you?
I've been trying to catch up with him when I'm in SYD, but it's like nailing down jelly... Happy New Year!

Re the aircranes, given that they are 40 + years old, would it not be more logical for say the Federal Govt to actually buy a few secondhand ones and position/use them in whichever States require them each year, rather than endlessly hiring them for what would no doubt be a considerable amount of taxpayers money?
