'Helitak 334' or 'Little Elvis' (a reference to the Skycrane 'Elvis' - N179AC - that has been in Victoria for the last few summers), off on a local 'blow out the cobwebs' flight. This helo was built in 1991 and registered in Japan as JA6660. Imported to Australia in 1999, it was registered on 1 June that year. Under the belly is a tank for 1200 litres of water and 60 litres of foaming agent.

On a very long short final for a practice touch and go at Bendigo. In September 2008 UK-based Oxford bought out General Flying Services and this former GFS Skyhawk SP has been repainted in the new house colours. This aircraft was registered new in Australia on 2 November 2006 but it was destroyed in an accident at Moorabbin on 8 June 2018.

This 2009 Air Tractor was initially EC-LCG. It came to Australia and was re-registered VH-NWU on 29 October 2012. I'm not sure why it was in Bendigo, but it's clearly used for fire-bombing duty during the summer, callsign 'Bomber 717'.

This Nanchang is normally Goolwa-based, but was visiting Warbird Adventure Flights' Bendigo base. It has acquired a neat spinner since I last photographed it. It was imported in 1981 ex PLAAF and assembled in Canberra, being first registered on 21 August that year.

You have to be a gymnast just to get into the cockpit of this mighty beast! Note the clear-view window to see the hopper contents and the aircraft's callsign 'Firebomber 365' on the panel. On the right side-panel is the comprehensive comms fit.

This old Navajo looks in pretty good nick as it catches the last rays of the setting sun. It has had several previous identities: N9022Y; EC-BNA; G-BFHO; & N4513U. It came to Australia in 1998 and is presently based at Warracknabeal.

This immaculate Navajo Panther is used on charter work and was waiting for some passengers at Bendigo. Note the new winglets, cowlings and four-bladed Q-tip props of the Panther conversion. You'd hardly guess the aeroplane was a quarter century old. It crashed and was destroyed after a night takeoff at Bathurst, NSW on 7th November 2008 with pilot disorientation suspected as the cause.

This aircraft is the only one of its kind in Australia. Only two were ever imported, the other (VH-WWL) having been burnt in 1966. VH-WWE was registered new in Australia on 5 November 1962. The Rangemaster was a 5-seat development of the earlier North American, later Ryan, Navion produced immediately after the Second World War. The tip-tanks are a prominent recognition feature.
