This is the only WT-9 Dynamic on the Australian register, though there is also thought to be an RAAus-registered example in WA. This one was first registered on 28 June 2006. Aerospool is based in the Slovak Republic and has previously glider parts-manufacturing and repair - hence the all-glass structure of the Dynamic.

This interesting T-18 Tiger was built in the USA in 1979 by Darrell Davis and registered N98BJ, as you can see by the marking on the fin. Exported to Australia, it was registered VH-WSJ(3) on 3 September 2009. Seen here off on a local flight at an 'Australia's Biggest Morning Tea' charity fly-in.

This appropriately-registered Duo Discus is operated by the Gliding Club of Victoria at the State Gliding Centre, Benalla. It's capable of a glide ratio of 1:45. No, it's not a taildragger - it still has its dolly-wheel for ground manoeuvring attached!

This Skylane isn't going far powered by a 44 gallon drum! It's an ex jump-ship, as seen by the titles and the home-made step on the starboard wheel. It is currently de-registered but was last registered to an owner in Mackay, Qld. Before coming to Australia in 1969, it was N71849 in the USA.

An assortment of aircraft share apron space at Ansett Engineering Services. In the foreground, VH-TXH undergoes maintenance before another night of freighting around Australia. In the distance is B737-200 G-CEAD of the short-lived OzJet Airlines, whilst BAe 146 N9070L (ex ZK-NZJ) and B767 VH-RMF, both formerly Ansett aircraft, await ferrying overseas in the background.

'Taipan 2', one of a pair of RAN Squirrels that displayed at the Australian International Airshow. Originally delivered to the RAAF as A22-023 on 27 November 1984, this helo was assigned to the ADF Helicopter School at RAAF Fairbairn, Canberra. It was transferred to the RAN in October 2000, still in its original white and blue scheme. It's since adopted this more 'warry' grey scheme.

This 1967 Cessna 150F was one of a batch all registered new in Australia about the same time in the VH-RG_ series. This one was originally allocated N6271R but probably never wore it as it was re-registered in Australia on 16 September 1965. It's seen here, looking wonderful in its original factory scheme, departing after the Houdini-Centenary Air Show.

Mike Falls' Harvard used to appear more often than it seems to these days, so it was a welcome sight at the RAAF Museum Air Pageant. Built to a USAAC order as AT-6D 41-34382, it went instead to the USN as an SNJ-5B, Bu43647. Sold ex NAS Litchfield Park, AZ, 24 Jul 57 and became N3274G with Growers Aerial Service, Imperial, CA. Several subsequent owners. Acquired by Mike Falls and shipped to Toowoomba, Qld, '89. Based at Essendon, Vic, since 1 Feb 90.
