J430, I'm guessing these latest shots were taken at Clifton (Bange field), and that is an Iskra. Dunno what the ultralight is, but the last one is a Fairchild 24W; this one lives at Gatton.

S63 37.4 E119 29.3 ... and a long way from home!

Direct course from Casey to Hobart ??

Pretty slick there.....so which plane were you in????

Not sure about the jet, it looks like a Panther scaled down a bit. What is an Iskra if I may ask?

J:ok:

J430, nah, wasn't there, but I have been in years past.

The Iskra is an eastern European design, but don't know much about it.

I googled and looked it up, dont think its a Iskra TS-11, its tail etc is quite different.

Still think its a Gruman Panther replica, scaled down maybe to a 75% or something. Think I have a mag article at home about it somewhere. Will check it out!.

J:ok:

Last ones!

Head to head (sort of)

It's supposedly the first home-built experimental Jet. Quite impressive. If I recall correctly it is a scaled Panther of sorts. A great achievement!

jbr76...yup I know everyone in that picture....that's me 4th from left.

Give Molly my best regards:ok:

Are you engaged to the younger or older daughter?

They were both babies when we were neighbours in Lae in the late 80s. If you're marrying the younger just make sure she's 'pool trained'...Molly will explain:}

First try, hope I don't puckit.

Excellent PNG pictures...many great memories there...including the mighty F28...now THAT was a fun aeroplane!!!!!:D

Hi Folks

Just for everyones general knowlege I have since found out what the Experimental Jet ws that was posted by me the other day. It is in fact a 3/4 replica of a Grumman Panther, built by a guy in Brisbane.

First amateur built jet in Australia!:D

First flight was 1st of April 2006 in Kingaroy. Found an article in the SAAA mag from Aug/Sep 2006. I understand it was a bit of a handful until some CofG issues were sorted (rumour only). But it seems to fly well fast and slow now!

J:ok:

Guess where
 

This one should be easy .... a bit hazy unfortunately.... http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k1...tleg/guess.jpg

Base for 06, Camden.



Hardly a challenge!

Crikey! Is that Camden? Where did all those houses and stuff come from?l

Crikey! Tapini has come a long way...

I see Fane still has the wrecked Islander...know the 'who' but cannot remember the 'why'.

Coupla shots from the Diamantina area 2 days ago.
Bilpa Morea is always about this colour, however, it is totally covered with water. It is an unusual event for this claypan.

cheers,

Yeah looks like Shute Harbour.
Tagneah: Glenelg for the 1st one is it?

FTDK and jetstar1 are correct. It is Shute Harbour at Airlie Beach. Great place to land, grab a beer and watch all the beavers coming in from their days work in the whitsundays.
Ahhh, the memories

And Tagneah, top photo is Glenelg in SA. Departure of RWY 23 YPAD.

Central Australia
 

The first one looks like Coober Pedy, and the second looks like the area to the north of CooberPedy. The aerodrome is OOdnadata. The old Ghan railway line used to go through there, but the line has been torn up now. You can see where it used to be.

Anyone remember the good old days when you'd find a Flight Service Unit in a place like Oodnadatta?

Bushy,
Correct on #2 and #3.
Taken from outside the FS building. It is all looking very decrepit.
Fairly wild fuel bowser setup.
