VH-KDK Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 East Sale Airbase is where the RAAF's Roulette aerobatic team are based. One of their PC-9 aircraft is going to do an early morning flight from YMES. 1. Take off from East Sale with the town of Sale in the background. 2. A lot of dairy farming in this area. 3. Lake Wellington close to Seacombe. 4. 5. 90 mile beach and Lake Reeve 6. 7. Preparing to land at YMES with YWSL West Sale's airport lights just above the nose. 8. 9. Over the Thompson River at Sale. 10. 11. The magnificent Roulettes in action at The Echuca Air show in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumbypickett Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Very nice shots KDK, although you could have kept the last shot secret and claim to have been leading the pack. cheers Gumby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy H Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 A killer set Martyn, the PC-9 is a nice bird. Very similar to the T-6C which I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Harmes Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Awesome pics, with great atmosphere and lighting. I love the PC-9 and I love the Roulettes, I have seen them a few times now at the Avalon Airshow. They are so precise, and I am constantly amazed at their abilities. Even after they landed the first time I saw them, they shut down their engines in complete sync, with the props rotating in seemingly perfect unity until they slowed and stopped, with each prop stopping in the same position. Amazing! One day, when I was living in Pascoe Vale, near Essendon Airport, I was on my PC flight simming and I heard the unmistakeable drone of the PC-9 engines winding up. When I jumped up and ran outside to have a look I just saw the end of a group of Roulette PC-9's doing a full 360 loop in single file above Essendon airport (or thereabouts). They then separated and flew their downwind and base legs one after the other and landed at Essendon. It was just a quick out of the blue performance for the locals! Really spectacular screenshots.

Cheers, Wonderful story Scott. It is a great sight to see their landing routine. Seen them many times at air shows and on several occasions when living in Mildura. 19 hours ago, Augustin Winther said: I love the fog and clouds! Nice pictures! Cheers, Augustin Thank you Augustine.
