I'm back in NY for Thanksgiving, and got out to JFK this afternoon - spent a couple of hours at Bayswater catching 13R departures.

Sentry, yep, taken at the Al Ain Aerobatic Championship, UAE. I didn't get the opportunity to talk to the ground crew, so I cant verify how it made the trip. I looked up the distnce from Brussels to Dubai to get an idea of the distance, and its a touch over 3,000 miles. If they flew it, that's got to be at least a 4 to 5 day trip each way at 230 knots and 500 mile hops.

First of the Canadair Challenger 604s for Cobham Aviation Services here in Adelaide was delivered today 30 December 2015.

Cobham recently won the AMSA Australian Maritime Safety Authority search and rescue contract, so will be using three Challenger 604s. This is the first one.

Cobham has their headquarters here in Adelaide, so will be a busy time for us.

I took my son and a friend to Essendon to see if we could see the Skycrane taking a day off from the bushfires. My son carried his Lego representation of the S-64, the plan being that someone would see a cute kid trying to get close to his favourite helicopter and take us airside to pose beside it's bulk. The hole in that plan is that the Essendon terminal is terminally quiet and no-one so much as saw us.

Here's as close as we got:

Here's some Lego mediated mock ups of the photos I wanted to get:

Worldslaziestbusker, here's some close up and action photos of the Skycrane. First up is when the aviation group i'm a member of here in Adelaide, got a tour of one at Brukunga in the Adelaide hills. This is the training center for the Country Fire Service.

Then it was used to fight a fire at an oil recycling depot in Wingfield in the northern suburbs of Adelaide.

Superb images, thanks Ryan.

We've only seen the Essendon unit flying past in the middle distance. Still impressive that far away but I hope I find a way to see one as close as you did, sometime.

Some interesting visitors to CLT the past few days. Friday, we had an Atlas Air 747 freighter come in. It was here to pick up relief supplies for Nepal, donated by Samaritan's Purse, a North Carolina based charitable organization. It was a cloudy and rainy morning, and of course, the rain picked up when he was on final. It was supposed to leave Friday night, but it's still here, waiting on parts after it broke. Hopefully I might get shots of it in better conditions before it leaves.
