Hey fellas,

Was a great weekend here in Perth. The weather was magnificent for the air race this year. Thought I'd share a few pictures

Oops, the westerly sea breeze had picked up and was starting to blow contestants around. Good old Pylon Hit

The F/A-18 Hornet made a display on both days of the race.

The picture of the red bull plane is magnificent. Is it the Extra 300?

I think Kirby flies an Edge 540. There were only two extras in the comp this year, and they didnt place well

Like the shot of the F/A-18!

The plane pictured is an Edge 540, as are most planes in the Race.
