Unusual Visitor

 In amongst the plethora of bizjets at Adelaide Airport today was an unusual visitor.  It was an Aero L-39 Albatros, a Czech built fast jet trainer.  Privately owned in Australia, VH-ZPM looked striking in it's bright blue Czech Airforce colour scheme.   It only stayed a couple of hours before heading back to it's base at Essendon

The bizjets included Embraer Phenom VH-UYX, Citation Mustang VH-PWX, Citation Bravo VH-XBP and Learjet 60 VH-OLJ

Barossa Airshow 2021

 Today was the long awaited return of an airshow to South Australia.  It was at Rowland Flat in the Barossa Valley

There were a variety of aircraft on show including planes, gliders and helicopters

The helicopters included the Police Air Wing Eurocopter EC-130 and a Westland Gazelle

Adelaide Soaring Club displayed their DG-1000S glider, and I scored a lucky photo with the Piper Pawnee tug in the background.

Amongst the many planes flying were an Air Tractor water bomber, the Silver Sharks aerobatic team, a scale replica Spitfire, which later joined up with a CAC Boomerang, the eerily quiet Pipistrelle electric powered plane, the striking CAP-232 aerobatic plane and the elegant 1930's Stinson Reliant

This great day out was enjoyed by the many victors to the show.
