Taxiing back in after opening the show with a couple of fly overs.
It was a huge treat for me to get to see one of these rare machines for the first time.

Is this guy really throwing me a salute??
One of the pretty T-4 trainers that each unit seems to have on strength for pilot proficiency training. In this case, from 301 Sqn, the F-4 unit at Nyutabaru.

The JASDF applies some really cool colour schemes to the F-15s used by the aggressor unit at Nyutabaru and each one is different.

The thing I was most looking forward to during my trip was the chance to see Phantoms, and I wasn't disappointed. What a wonderful sight to see these old beasts still doing the rounds.

What's better than seeing one Phantom fly? Seeing two of course!

The Forward Air Control Development Unit (FACDU) here at Williamtown operate the RAAF's only camouflaged PC-9s. I was lucky to catch this one doing circuits in the opposite direction to normal which gave a more pleasing angle.

The RAAF's G-model F-111s have now all been retired.
This one on a quick touch and go at Williamtown was the last time I saw one flying.
