Title: Canberra Airport Open Day Part 1
Post by: CBRFlyer on April 02, 2010, 11:36:37 AM
The Airport Open Day was a great day and there was many planes, both past and present on display. Here are the photos that I have selected to post, I have also included photos of some of the airline traffic on the day because it isn't very often you get the opportunity to get that close to the runway.
