This was submitted to a photo comp here a while back. I reckon it would look good on a calender too.......

Sportstar over a sandbank in the Great Sandy Straights between Hervey Bay and Fraser Island. I have a really high res copy of this available that I already have had blown up to poster size.

Can't figure out how to make them bigger in this post, so thumbnails will have to do.

Hi Gnome,

 

I think that's the Langely Park fly in. Langley Park is in Perth and is where the Red Bull Air Race aircraft takeoff, not an active airstrip but just for special occasions.

 

My two are attached, nothing special but I thought they were ok photos :big_grin:

 

 

Both photos taken by me - when I attached them it appeared to lower the quality so I uploaded it elsewhere and attached.

Stinson and Langley Park

 

What's the story with that centre photo? Not often you see a plane taxiing next to what looks like major roads.

Gnome,

 

As sseeker said, the centre photo was take at Langley Park in Perth during a fly-in organised late last year to commemorate the life of Nancy Bird-Walton. It's a beautifully restored 1935 Stinson coming in to land. Langley Park is on the north bank of the Swan River, just in front of the city buildings, and it's a spectacular location for an airstrip. It's only used on special occasions these days, and is where the Red Bull aircraft take off from (or did, until they decided to cancel the event for the time being).

 

It's also where Sir Norman Brearley based his aircraft when he started the first commercial air service operating from the Perth in the early 20's. Kingsford Smith was one of his pilots for a time, until he got the sack for being too unreliable.

Hmmm... Clearly I'm going to have to come over to Perth one of these days. Anywhere that can manage an airstrip in such a beautiful location (even if it isn't used much) has to be a bit special! :)
