Aircraft pics you've taken

It's hard to believe I took this pic over 50 years ago. I thought the Piper Comanche PA-24-250 was the most beautiful of all the private planes around and built a control line model of it (powered by my trusty Taipan 2.5cc diesel engine).

I still think it's a beautiful aircraft. VH-CDA was first registered in 1960.

Pic taken March 1964 at Archerfield Aerodrome, Brisbane, prior to it flying in the RM Ansett Air Race (before its race no. 30 was applied).

Sabre jet fighter. Temora, November 2013.

Some beautiful and interesting planes here. Love propeller planes and the sound they have. The photo of "Connie" does her justice on those lines of hers...

Will have to find the photos I took as a kid at my first airshow. Biggest grin ever seen on a young 8 year old.

We had a flyover of our farm on the way to Temora, switched off the pump, wondered what the noise was and she flew almost directly overhead at a few thousand feet. Most excellent....
