Hello all,
During 9 months of travelling in Australia I had some time left to visit RAAFB Townsville. Unfortantly not a very succesfull day. During a 5 hour period only a C-17 came in to land bringing troops, the whole platform was filled with DHC-4's and even two Super Stallions from the US Navy and to make things worse a chinook and an F-18 arrived, only five minutes after I left. Well you can't have it all....
Regards

This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

I got the same experience last year. Visited Townsville, unfortunately no activity there, only DHC-4s baking in the sun with way too many heatwaves. Only noticed some aircraft from Lavarack barracks, a chinook and blackhawk. Unfortunately they were flying quite high.
