RP-C2695 This YAK-40 had a landing accident at MPH a few years back. It was repainted in airport operator TransAire's green c/s, and large "Mabuhay" (="welcome") titles were applied. On 24FEB12 a number of blue barrels were applied around the fuselage, and finally, on 01MAR12, the plane was submerged as a diving attraction in front of Boracay Island. (mehr von RP-C2695)

VH-KIB c/n 31-7305035. ex N536N and VH-TXD. The passengers on this seemed perplexed that there were so many people at the airport, and a few people getting their photo! [Olympus C-740] (mehr von VH-KIB)
VH-KGQ I have only ever seen this flying once- must be used when there is a large demand for transport to King Island... [Olympus C-740 + TCON-17] (mehr von VH-KGQ)
VH-KIG c/n 31-7852146. ex (N935MA), N27811 and VH-HRL. I was crouched on the ground for this shot, just metres away from the aircraft. You should have seen the looks the passengers gave me as they went past! [Olympus C-740] (mehr von VH-KIG)
VH-KIG c/n 31-7852146. ex (N935MA), N27811 and VH-HRL. No smoke as the nosewheel comes to ground. Just back from King Island. [Olympus C-740] (mehr von VH-KIG)
VH-DMV c/n 31-7405487. ex N61477. Coming in from King Island, yet to put the nose gear down. The pilot had it in the air for a couple of hundred metres, i think he was showing off! [Olympus C-740] (mehr von VH-DMV)
VH-KGQ The only Bandeirante at Moorabbin. Looks as though it lost its "Experimantal" paint on the front, i heard it was trialling a GPWS. [Olympus C-740] (mehr von VH-KGQ)
VH-KGN c/n 31-7952061. ex N27952. Closeup as the King Island Airlines Chieftain taxies past. Apparently the turbos give a nice glow at night. [Olympus C-740] (mehr von VH-KGN)
VH-KGN c/n 31-7952061. ex N27952. Font-on shot of the Cheiftain. Pity the pilot didnt put the landing light on. It is just out of maintenance, and is taxying back after some engine runs. [Olympus C-740] (mehr von VH-KGN)
VH-KIG c/n 31-7852146. ex (N935MA), N27811 and VH-HRL. Just about to lower the nosewheel onto Rwy 35L with a full load of passengers. I missed a shot with the nosewheel nice and high- i was kicking myself after that! [Olympus C-740] (mehr von VH-KIG)
