In 2008 Canberra-based Brindabella Airlines gave this Metro a new coat of vanilla paint and currently has it offered for sale. Evidently they are still using it in the meantime. The aircraft has an interesting history: built 1982 as Merlin IVC, cn AT-513. Re-delivered Dec 86 to Texas National Airlines as N3108H. Passed through several hands before moving to New Zealand in Feb 89 - became ZK-NSV with Air Nelson. Returned to US registry Jun 03 as N513FA. VH-TAO 1 Oct 2003.

This King Air 350 is operated by 173 Surveillance Squadron at Oakey, Qld., and was at Essendon in support of the recent Victorian bushfires. Note the redback spider underneath the side window - the unit's callsign is 'Redback'. This aircraft was registered to manufacturer Raytheon as N6139Z 1 March 2005, but soon afterwards exported to Australia where it was registered to the distributor, Hawker Pacific, as VH-ZHP on 25 August that year. A year later it was transferred to the military Register and its civil registration was cancelled on 4 August 2006.

'Elvis', aka 'Helitak 739' and the other Skycranes have been in the thick of things fighting the worst bushfires in Victoria's history - over 200 people perished in 24 hours of fire-storms. Nevertheless, here's Elvis back at its Essendon base having a day of respite from the constant water-bombing although the fires are still burning up in the hills, hence the smoky, grey sky.

This was one of two RAN 723 Squadron A-109s that had just arrived at Essendon to operate in support of the 'Black Saturday' bushfire-fighting operations. It wears a 'summer uniform' white scheme (the RAN's other two are black and grey). This helo originally operated as an EMS aircraft, based in the French city of Laon from May 2002 and using the temporary Italian rego I-LAON. It was later re-registered F-GLEI. It came to Australia with the temporary registration VH-NPX before being leased to the RAN.
