This Bendigo-based Cherokee was first registered in Australia on 3 March 1967. It is thought to be the fourth aircraft with this registration, which is in the Royal Victorian Aero Club's traditional "block", though it's not certain that this was an RVAC aircraft.

Two Towers - Melbourne's original Control Tower, built in the 1960s, is dwarfed by the new Tower being built alongside it. The new Tower will eventually be 78m high and provide a sufficient view to accommodate the airport's future expansion - particularly a new north-south runway to the west of the Tower. We're now up to the supporting structure for the cab and you can really see just how big the new Tower will be.

Just to confuse matters, this is the second Pel-Air Metro to be registered VH-EEQ! This one was built in 1985 and registered N3119B to Wings West Airlines. In 1990 they re-registered it N347AE. In 1993 it was exported to Australia, being registered VH-SST on 5 April. It was re-registered VH-EEQ by Pel-Air in January 2002.

This Chinook made an appearance on static display at an airshow at RAAF Laverton, c.1979. It was delivered to the RAAF in March 1974 and returned to the USA in September 1993 as part of a deal to remanufacture part of the RAAF Chinook fleet. It remained in the USA, now as a CH-47D, with the US Army, serial 93-931.

There are three of these Air Ambulance Super King Airs in the South Eastern Section of the RFDS, based at Essendon. They're out and about 24 hours a day, and very professional operators too.

The aircraft was damaged but landed safely. Currently based at Coldstream.

Coasting to a stop at the Sydney Seaplanes terminal, Rose Bay. This Beaver was built in 1961 and delivered to the Ghana Air Force, registered G-213. It seems to have made its way to the USA around 1974, being civil registered as N37772. In 1976 it came to Australia, being re-registered as VH-IMR on 17 September that year. It was later re-registered again as VH-AAM(3) on 13 April 1992 and named 'Caledonia' after one of the old Empire flying boats that used to operate out of Rose Bay.

A rare case of cn and registration matching in this colourful factory-built Sapphire. Sapphires were once considered 'high performance' machines in the ultralight world, but they have now been overtaken by the plethora of larger, faster designs.
