Was taken in haste on my phone to send to my plane spotter son. Camera was sitting in the D2 when we stopped for lunch alongside the flood mitigation dam at Kununurra on 7 July.

This bloke kept doing circuits around our area yesterday. I don't know why, there were no nearby fires.

This might be why. They were talking about it on the radio yesterday.

That DC-10 looks fantastic, one of my all time favourite aircraft. It is wonderful to see it flying in Australia. I wonder if it still has the original 3 crew flight deck, or has it had the update? Either way, beautiful aircraft.
I was at RAAF Richmond last week and the DC10 was parked there. I should have taken some pics. Didn't get inside. I could have if I wasn't busy on course. Apparently it holds 45000 litre of water. None of the RAAFies I talked to could tell me how they fill it up. A convoy of fire trucks me think.
