| It's owned by the Caboolture mustang syndicate who I think also own a couple of Wirrarways as well. Mustang P51 Fighter Plane Joy Flight Mustang Adventure Flights Nice shots of the Avenger, was this it's first public display? Would be great to see it airborne with the other QLD one.

Not sure if this is its first public display or not. First time I have seen it. Understand from colleagues that it one of the ex-firebombers from the US restored on the Gold Coast. There is a third Avenger, also another ex-fire bomber, being restored on the Coast. We will have the largest air force of Avengers anywhere in the world soon! | |
