Lining up on Runway 34 for a flight to Hamilton in a DC-3, VH-ABR commemorating the 70th anniversary of Ansett's first service. To the left is the ATC Centre and, to the right, the terminal. You can also see the extra 7.5m added to each side of the runway in March 2005 in preparation for the arrival of the A380.

Once again Mike Spaulding brought his lovely Warhawk/Kittyhawk to the Wide Bay International Airshow. Built for the USAAF as 42-104977, this aircraft served with the 49FG, named 'Punkins'. On 13 September 1943 it was shot down by a Zero at Tsili Tsili, near Finschafen, New Guinea. The wreck was recovered in 2004 and rebuilt at Wangaratta and Mareeba.

This is actually the second Harvard to carry the reg VH-ZRO. Built by Canadian Car and Foundry for the RCAF as 20362 and taken on charge as late as 19 August 1952. Sold March 1968 and converted to a replica 'Zero' for the film Tora! Tora! Tora!, registered N15798. Sold after the film in 1971 and flew in the USA and UK until 1998. Exported to New Zealand as ZK-ZRO until exported again to Australia in October 2000. Registered VH-ZRO on 17 August 2001 and currently based in Brisbane. It really looks the part

Since I last photographed this helo in October 2007, it has been painted in this stunning 'Tiger' scheme for the 60th Anniversary of 816 Squadron, RAN Fleet Air Arm, in 2008. It's also sprouted an EO turret and various other EW lumps and bumps. Australia's first Seahawk made its first flight on 4 December 1987 carrying the Sikorsky flight test registration N7265H.
