Guest David C Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I was there yesterday at the annual WOI held at Illawarra Regional Airport Wollongong . All in all it was a good day , with about 70+ aircraft visiting for the day . The military were well represented with the RAAF sending a C130J , Bae Hawk . The RAN sent a good selection of helos , Squirrels , Sea King , Sea Hawk , Iraqois . The usual collection of ever growing HARS aircraft were present , The Connie as usual gave a spirited display , as did the DC3 and Neptune . A great surprise was the ground running of a Hawker Hunter . It did not fly but left a lasting impression of shear power on many I'm sure . About 50 lighties made it in , on what was not the best of flying days . My old mate Ross from Goulburn made it in his Morgan Airworks Cheetah , a nice example of what is becoming a popular choice for homebuilders .. This event is growing from year to year . An added incentive to visit was the fact that all car parking monies were donated to a very worthwhile cause , the RFS .. Here are a few snap shots of the day . I hope they capture the occasion Dave C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darren Masters Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Nice one Dave. Good for those of us that good not make it. I think that you should enter the shot of the Roulette inflight into the photo of the month comp mate. Very worthy! Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
