I'll have a punt

1,2,3 and 7 might be Edwards AFB?
9 Port Fairy during the brilliant Folk Festival?
11 Honolulu?
13 San Fransico?

Rock festival is at Phillip Island. GO Airlines CanadaAir Regional Jet is in Honolulu, yep good guess. Nice little aircraft 50'ish seats. Long takeoff run, but climbs steep out like a fireman.



Nice guess.

Warbirds are Nellis Airforce Base in Nevada, pictures enclosed, complete with Snipers on the roof ready to pop a cap in the a*rse of any unsuspecting airshow visitor who gets too close to the Stealth figther. To be honest, I think it was a little over the top!

Lucky these guys didn't see Mr. XXX here with his Bazooka!

I know......look a little closer at the altimeter ladies and gents.........:eek:

I reckon you owe me a beer anyway next time we meet!!!:} And not one of those poofy vodka things either!!!

J:ok:

Knew it was either Nellis or Edwards, took a punt on Edwards after seeing the San Fran pic.
Ah well, as for your pic of Loch Ard Gorge, seen that one......oh.....174 odd times from the air. Well didn't really see it, too busy dodging bloody R44s!

# 9: Phillip Island. Not in the foreground, but I think I can see Southern Loop about 2/3 the way up the frame....

Bloody motorbikes!:}

Such a Nit Picky lot on here and nobody has picked the problem in XXX's photo yet, :confused: and my last clue has not helped.

Have not seen that happen in my Jab! But I bet a few other instrumenst in old Cessna's and Pipers have done some odd things at times.

Here is my dash, nice redundancy with the old and new!

Cheers
J:ok:

I don't see a problem, just hope you're carrying oxygen to be cruising at FL490. Would have taken a while for the poor little Jabbie to get ya there!!
:eek:

Must be the J160-900TT!!! :}

Ahh yea I was gonna say Nellis, a bit late. Was a really good show, took a few hundred pics also

Hey Wandering Dave

I reckon our mate XXX owes us a few XXXX's now......except I would not touch the stuff!

I wonder what other points he has to reveal!

J:ok:

Good on ya CFI. :eek: I forgot you had that picture. :uhoh:
If I remember rightly I was doing you a favour and sitting in it for a promotional photo.
I Never flew in it. I'm just not that brave. :}
All you other mob........you know who you'se are, Get stuffed. :E :} :eek:

'Tis true. Wiz was just on a a modelling assignment at the time. :)

:eek: Wiz and modelling in the same sentence :E

That flamey-nose-art-slippery-lookin'-thingamy looks to be parked out the front of the Cooly Aero Club....


many a beer was had....:ok:

Yep, the flashy on-fire aircraft is a new Sting owned by Michael Coates the importer. It's a nice machine and has most of the gadgets you need for a pleasant day's flight.

Paintjob took nearly 2 weeks solid.

Looks like Miss-XXX features in there too me old mate. So does she want one of those sting machines now?

J:}

They must have solved the engine problem with the Vampire then?

I remember one of my instructors being involved with the test flying of them in the very early 80s, I think...many, many engine failures were had usually just airborne...I can't for the life of me remember what it was or the fix.

Re the flames paint job...wouldn't have thought it was the best advert for Rotax:ouch:

Re the other leathal looking thing...WTF is it??:uhoh:

That looks suspicously like the back of Peter Waterhouse's hangar at Hoxton park in which the Vampire sits.
