This Robbie has what looks like some sort of sensor mounted on the nose. Freestone's Transport is a trucking company, so it's hard to imagine what it might be. Registered new in Australia as VH-PFF(3) on 28 November 2007.

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.

The orignal Very Light Jet. This 1981 Lear was formerly G-HUGG and was first registered in Australia on 18 November 2003. Love that shiny silver!

Owned by the Department of Defence and supported by Tenix LADS Corporation, Aircruising Australia and Executive Airlines, this former East-West Airlines F-27 is the last of its once-ubiquitous breed still flying in Australia. It's now used on hydrography work using the Australian-developed Laser Airborne Depth Sounder.

This Skylark was photographed at its home base. The 'C' Skylark featured a few new goodies such as a constant-speed prop. This aircraft also has the Horton Stol-Craft STOL kit incorporated, which includes leading edge cuffs, conical camber wingtips and aileron seals. The optional flap gap seals aren't fitted. This Skylark was registered new in Australia on 10 April 1962 as VH-ALK(2), and later became VH-RBP for a while. It was formerly allocated but never wore the US reg N8392T.
