This 1985 Metro has an interesting history. Originally N614AV with Air Virginia; became Nashville Eagle. Then to Flagship Airlines, then Wings West. In 1987 operated for American Eagle. At some stage reacquired by Fairchild & converted to prototype Fairchild Multi Mission Surveillance Aircraft, carrying a phased-array radar in a long pod under the fuselage. Returned to standard configuration & exported to Australia, becoming VH-SSZ 29 September 1994. VH-EES since Jul 2001. Now awaiting disposal.

Temora aerodrome, site of the Antique Aeroplane Association of Australia's National Fly-in for 2008, looking north west with the shorter Runway 18/36 closest. You can see the extensive buildings of the Temora Aviation Museum at the southern end of the apron, with David Lowy's Gulfstream V parked on its special pad in front of his house. Just to the south of that is GAF Canberra A84-223. There are a few antique aircraft already lined up on the grass, but we were one of the fairly early arrivals.
