My flight out here on one was the worst commercial flight I've ever been on. They seem to get this resonance through the cabin, NO room between the seats, must be configured for midgets..... haha midgets and the seats themselves are solid.

Finally got a card reader for my camera.




Taken from the terminal at Kingsford Smith on my way out here.


Get these every now and again.


Kiowa



Fire control aircraft.





And finally for all of you who love them. This is the sister ship to the one that I shot in Holbrook
in May.

Interesting to compare how the poms and the yanks approach the same problem. They were doing formation with them about 10 mins ago. Too hard to get a photo.

Just to bore you guys some more, a couple that I took about 5 mins ago. Some serious TS action here at the moment.


Of course the photos dont do the it justice. In the second photo, the cloud in the foreground is darker because
its in the shadow of another CB thats just West of the airstrip.
