This CAC-built Kiowa woks past an unloading Galaxy to commence an air-test after re-assembly. This helo is currently with 162 Reconnaissance Squadron and was one of four flown in from Townsville in an RAAF C-17 for the Australian International Airshow. It was delivered in 1973 and used for Kiowa camouflage trials by 171 Command and Liason Squadron during 1979-80, painted in a dark matt olive drab scheme. It's currently in the standard Army aircraft scheme, which was adjudged the most effective.

This S-61 was manufactured in 1968, probably as an SH-3 Sea King. It was civilianised in Sept 1992 and registered in the USA as N306V. In 1994 it went to South Africa as ZS-HGU, before returning to the US Register. It has subsequently alternated between US and Canadian registry. It was contracted for bushfire-fighting in Victoria, Australia, during the summer of 2008/9 and was based at Warrnambool. It was photographed here at the Australian International Airshow where it made a one-day appearance.
