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.
