Yep a AW 139, Ec-135 and a Beechcraft Duchess - nice panel in the AW-139

yeah, all the rain seems to be doing is getting us wet!!!! the panel was in it's cold and dark state, and the pics didn't come out that well, she is a very, very nice chopper, makes the EC look tiny though!!!! the duchess looks surprisingly modern for an old a/c

I always find it interesting to see another person’s perspective of their place in the world, especially when it contains aviation photos!

Thanks for posting Jason, I hope you are enjoying the Ozzie lifestyle mate >ozflag<

04l and 04r (the two grass runways) could have been used by float planes yesterday, there was enough water on them!!!!

by **towerguy** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 9:16 am

here are some more pics from the weekend, and a couple of challanges to guess!!

some general pics of the airport

an american rego beechcraft king air

first challange for you, what sort of aircraft is this panel from?!?

2nd challange for you, what is this aircraft???

by **NZ255** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 8:18 pm

1st one is a Cherokee Arrow?
2nd is a DA-40?

by **Nunner** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 8:21 pm

Cherokee Arrow and Diamond Star.
Nice to see Archerfield looking pretty much the same,used to visit it
4 times a month from my base at Stradbroke Island back in the early 80's.
Used to be a lot of old P2- stuff hanging about.

damn, and here i was thinking that it would be hard. i had a very good chat with the pilot of the arrow, they display is all linked to the gps and vice versa, apparently he has spent $65,000.00 on that and they are installing a weather radar to go with it, it blew me away just how much can be done with it, beats some of the small turbo props instrument wise!!!!

by **benwynn** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 8:36 pm

Whos Arrow (Me Thinks Not Sure) Is that Panel shot from? Is that an AV8 aircraft?

Last SHot is a DA-40
