The mighty Pig taxies in after the usual flaming display at the Australian International Airshow, soon to be seen no longer! This aircraft was belatedly delivered to the RAAF on 25 July 1973 and was later one of four aircraft converted to RF-111C standard.

This helicopter was always a civil machine. Initially registered N653X for test-flying, it was delivered new to Pakistan International Airlines as AP-AOB in 1963. In 1968 it was sold to BEA Helicopters in the UK and registered G-AWFX. It later returned to the USA where it was converted to 'Fire King' standard. It later became N625CK with Croman.

The coming thing in light aircraft cockpits. The Blue Mountain EFIS/One primary display in this RV-9A can be clearly seen - although the owner reports the Jeppesen navigation database for Australia is very sparse. The avionics and electronic engine controls in this aircraft make for a very complex electrical system.
