There were still two Viggens there when I visited in June 2006.

I really don’t understand why we cannot adopt the system used widely in the USA (among other places) , whereby you sign a form to confirm that you accept that the aircraft is not certified as a public transport aircraft , that the flight you are taking is at your own risk and that nobody will get sued if anything goes wrong.

What is that in the last photo?

It’s a De Havilland Australia Drover.

Yes , it is an Antonov AN-2

My first flight was a circuit in an Islander (G-BNEA) at the Abingdon Airshow in September 1979

Ruud ,

I have some more information on the Mig 15 which you saw at Nowra. It is one of two owned by a company called Air Combat Australia , and is used for experience flights. The registration is VH-EKI.

You can find details of the company and its aircraft here :-

When I visited Parafield earlier this year , it was stored in the back of a hangar , with the damage still visible and no sign of any work being done on it.
