Here are some photos from today, after looking at the cloud cover this side of the runway was not too bad (Normally at that time of day, heavily backlit) to grab some shots.

Fantastic shots there, especially the Tiger and VB pics - you ought to submit them to Aust Aviation magazine....the bit about so many of the Tiger fleet being in ACT at one time would be an interesting side line too.

Thanks!

I found out why we had 3 Tiger's, apparently one was on its way to Mackay and diverted to Canberra due to Technical Problems (Had to stay on the ground for investigation).
