Dont know what caused the prang, but I do remember that the gingerbeers put it together again in time to send it back at the end of the lease, when the F-111's arrived.

Delivered to 82 Wing 06/10/70. Served with 6 Sqn RAAF. Badly damaged 19/10/70 at Amberly QLD, after an inflight equipment failure the aircraft was damaged during landing. The nosewheel stearing and brake anti skid were not working. The pilot recieved minor injuries and navigator was un-injured. The rebuild took 18,750 manhours. A large crack was also found in its stabilator during the rebuild, which meant most of the other aircraft stabilators required an X-ray in 1972. Flown 09/71. To 82 Wing 15/10/71. Returned to USAF 22/10/72 as 69-7234. Served with 86th TFW, 526th TFS at Ramstein from 1973 until at least 1978 as an F-4E. Modified to F-4G between 1978-81. Served with 347th TFW, 35th TFW,37th TFW,52nd TFW USAF. Credited with 4 kills on Iraqi Radar sites during Operation Desert Storm. To AMARC as FP0761, 20/09/91. To MFSI, Mojave, CA. Converted to QF-4G (AF-212) 31/08/99. Spotted 2001 at Holloman AFB from 82nd ATS. New paint, "TD" tail code in two-seat (piloted) QF-4G config. Still flying as QF-4G.

Sorry about the quality of these but our camera died mid holiday.

Nokia's don't make the best cameras.

Looks like the view during a missed approach off the ILS at the Peterborough International Airport.

Headed to Bankstown this morning for a one-way ferry flight via Moorabbin to pick up the aircraft owner. Conditions at 8am into Essendon and Moorabbin were IFR with restricted VFR operations permitted with one aircraft at a time only.

So after arriving into Moorabbin under some very special VFR, it was a departure to the South (to get out under the crap), then over the top to north of Melbourne then onto Bankstown via a stop at Albury. A nice and handy 20 knot head-wind all the way taking 4 hours. Oh well. She then settled into her new (original) home back at Bankstown with a very happy new owner.

There's some familiar terrain in there in pics for 3, 4 & 5 that many of you will know.

They're a very commercially successful and professionally run flying training organisation. Not a penny from yours my taxes. A stark contrast to some in the same business who don't exist any more. It may surprise some to know that Unis are very hard-nosed about such ventures these days and won't finance anything like this unless it makes money for them, which this one undoubtedly will continue to do.

They didn't bring your prop down for you did they?

Dixon,

Almost but no cigar. It was double that.

And it was indeed Peterborough International Airport. Very busy airspace down that way.

Only down side of that trip is I now have an 11 year old son who dreams of flying helicopters. Oh the shame!!!

No luck with the prop delivery I'm afraid. I had no idea I would be going to Bankstown on Sunday though, I could have organised to pick it up myself otherwise.

You would be too Jaba, particularly when there's 3 aircraft on final on the 3 runways simultaneously. I'm a little out of my comfort zone with a centre runway thrown in the mix, particularly in the same aircraft type that had a midair up there (not that that has anything to do with it really).
