Title: Plane Spotting in February Pt I
Post by: CBRFlyer on February 23, 2010, 10:50:33 PM
A few from the last few weeks, mainly tonight. Unfortunently they have been on Runway 17 ops both times I have been there this month which means shots through glass.

First up we have Brindibella Flight Training's Cessna C150M, VH-TAV, it is seen here all tied up after performing a Trial Instructional Flight with myself at the controls.

What seems to be a very close inspection of the number two engine of VH-TJS.

A Virgin that I travelled on when it was new, VH-VBV, Moulin Blue taxis for departure.

Apart from the freshly painted VH-TJO, TJM probably looks the best, here it is after arrival from Sydney, it's called Kestrel for those wondering.

It's Belle-Issimo Blue! VH-ZHA the very first 'jungle jet' in the Virgin fleet makes it's wy to the runway.

My personal favorite in the Virgin fleet, don't know why probably because I always get it, VH-VBC 'Betty Blue' off to Melbourne as DJ278
