Looking back on 2009

A separate section for photographers to upload and comment on everything from amateur plane spotting images to professional air to air shots.

I know the year is not over yet but thought I would post a few photos of some of the aircraft I have flown with this year as well as a couple of other memorable sights.

We have seen several new significant aircraft fly in NZ during 2009 and a good time to reflect on the tremendous work put in by so many people.

Thanks to all of those people who have helped out this year, has been great.

Looks like I will run out of bandwith quite soon so sorry in advance.

Just to clarify, Bob McGarry owns the Spartan.
