 |
| My only new one from the event, still good to get! |
 |
| Always nice to hear and see a radial engine come in |
 |
| Don't see this one too often and it's from my neck of the woods! |
 |
| I do like a good Bonanza and it's nice to see this one becoming a regular in the fly-in scene. |
 |
| The one that came the furthest, this lovely looking RV from North Shore! |
I then travelled up the road to the Beck Helicopter pad just outside of Eltham and was nice to see a couple of helicopters outside.
 |
| Lovely to see this huey outside. |
 |
| Unsure why this jet ranger was here, but it was a new one for me, so i'll take it! |
