[Grahame Hutchison]

This morning there were four Cessna corporates on the main apron, two Citation 750 X (VP-VPF & VH-RCA), a Citation 510 Mustang, and a Citation 650. At the other end of the spectrum I had a look over Tiger Moth's VH-CCD and VH-AJA, 1942 and 1946 models respectively. There was a little bit of a cool breeze blowing, but the blue skies were a perfect backdrop.

N36715 Beech King Air 350 (FL-415) maybe one of two recently ferried into the country.
