    We had about 30 Avenger firebombers posted at the Fredericton Airport when I was there '93 to '96... There was a fire out in the Base Gagetown training area at one point and since the whole area is scrub pine forest everyone and everything was in danger. The Avengers were doing sorties over my house for two days until all was controlled. Quite an airshow...
    Regards, Jim

    Come on Muffer, for aeronautical illiterates like me, what are those aeroplanes. They all seem to look the same to me. I can tell the difference between a Chinook and an Iroquois and a twin-pioneer after having flown in them! And the Herc of course

    The first one looks like an Avenger and that is what Jim would seem to allude to in his post following.

    Well those Spitties got put on the backburner with the bushfire problems in OZ.

    But now the water bombers are all serviced and parked up ready for the next round.

    So it's back to the Warbirds, one had its engine runup this week just gone, should be cutting air very shortly.....the boys were tearing up the sky again this afternoon...love the sound.

    Latest update.
    Despite the dogs disease running around, work keeps going to improve the Warbirds Collection at Scone.
    Today I was up before dawn to see the latest addition arrive, this last week has seen a Maachi trainer and a Mirage sent up to add to the growing collection, these two when refurbished will move into a new display hanger hopefully finished by the end of the year.
    So for your enjoyment a few shots of both the new and old.

    Wonder why the riggers did not use a spreader bar on the Mirage so the chains are not pulling in but cradling the aircraft, just my take on it after 20 years of hire crane operating.
