Anyone have any knowledge of what the Nomad was doing repetitively flying a line between the Ivanhoe area and the Chadstone area between 0930 and 1000L today?

I'm guessing they're doing Survey...

If it's good old ATO, then most likely survey work of some description I would think. I can't open the pic to see for sure.

Yes, unfortunately, at this juncture the attachment is still pending PPRUNE approval.

A little more research, as against guessing, has found this aircraft does a lot of Geo-survey work.

Sorry Kulwin, birdies tell me Powerline stuff.

And apparently that's the last one Duck! If you don't count the one sitting in Gippsland Aeros hangar that's being used for their New Nomad.

Did I see that one advertised for sale a while back or did they have two at Gippy Aero?

Belive they had 2 Stick, one is flightworthy as far as I'm aware but no longer registered? The other taken to pieces?

Someone more in the know can probably tell us!
