Ford GPA.
We have one of these(amongst other things, as Beachy will attest) at Dad's place south of Blackall.
We used to be taken across the flooded creeks so we could get to boarding school.
Not all that common these days.

Yes... C185Skywagon's Dad is best described as a military vehicle enthusiast!
He has heaps of that sort of stuff!
This thing was HUGE. 8 x 3000 = 24,000 horsepower!
The Evergreen guy mounted this 747 on top of a building, and is turning it into a huge waterslide for kids!!

You know with all these new high tech aircraft the Harrier still amazes me everytime I see it...still remember the harrier buffeting the aerials on Ohakea Tower during a low pass probably 25+ years ago!!

The ADF should be made keep a couple of operational F111's purely for the purpose of public displays.
We saw all sorts of things including the Blue Angels performing over Lake Washington, and while they are good, we are spoiled with the F111.
As a marketing tool alone for the ADF the F111 is the best thing ever. Bar none.
The government waste...and I mean waste, far more money each year than a few F111's would cost to operate for public displays. It would be cheaper still to let the temora folk operate them like they do the Sabre, and donate the $$$ to them to run the show.
It would be one thing most Australian tax payers would support as being a good investment in the future compared to many other schemes the government spend our taxes on.

'Jaba' loved the shot of Buffalo Joe from Yellowknife Great series that 'IcePilots' can't wait for the next series & I thought we had it bad trying to get to be a pilot look at the sh1t those rampies had to deal with just to get a shot at an old '3'!
'Jaba' can you shed some light on costs whilst at the show? Eg. souvenirs etc.
Great pix am sure you had plenty of 35mm film with ya

Ok time for some more fun.......After Oshkosh Beachking and I went to Washington DC and did the museums there and then over to Seattle, did the museums there and at McMinneville and on the Saturday before heading south we sawthe Seair festivile which is on Lake Washington. Allegedly outside Bill Gates's house but I have no idea if thats true.
Anyway if you like turbine powered boats and airplanes, this is a pretty cool day out, even if the weather turned a bit feral.
Enjoy!
