PS, for my last shot with the painting on the tail...HINT: Look what's painted with the real background at The Oaks :)

Darren ,

 

I take it this was the action at The Oaks yesterday . Why is it I always miss out ?? ... 049_sad.gif.af5e5c0993af131d9c5bfe880fbbc2a0.gif well we all know the answer , its that dreaded W word again . Is that new Jabiru a resident or a visitor ? . The amphib is a beauty too . Heres to a great Narromine anyway ;);)

Darren, Nice shots once again Mr Smarty Pants. I have not tried as of yet your advice on posting pic's because as have been too busy making hay but I will in due course when I return from my upcoming trip to the Philippines. I want to this time go looking at a volcano or 2, from the air, should get some good shots so look out.

 

I'm will also be looking at a new Kitfox over there, to leave it there of course and use it on my frequent visits.

 

Kit Fox's use to be built there and exported to the USA but the factory went broke, probably due to red tape.

 

Anyway I'm getting of track, the interesting thing is that I may be able to purchase basically a new aircraft with maybe a new early model 912 still in the original packing case for around the USD$16,000.00, in my book thats as cheap as chips compared to here.

 

I know a guy who just sold a hardly used X-air for, I think, about the USD$8,000.00.

 

Anyway keep up the photography as from someone who knows, you have a good eye for it with the content and framing of the shot.

 

Kind regards,

 

Rick

Thanks for the comments Rick. Glad you like the pics again. I really should not have chopped the nose off that Jab though. It was getting low in light and, well, you know how it is ;)

The wife and I took some time out in the Northern Territory recently.

 

Here are some shots from a Bell 47, over the Western MecDonnell Ranges. Hanging out the door to take some shots was the fun bit.
