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

Hannes Arch against the skyline


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

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