An Aussie's travels to air shows, aviation museums and related events around the world, with a bit of aerospace history along the way!
Kyneton Air Show 2017 – Part VI: Static Displays & Aircraft Departures
Continuing on from my attendance at the great Kyneton Air Show on Sunday April 23rd, 2017, lets take a look at the various aircraft on static display. I will also show some photos on activity around the Kyneton Airfield after the air show and visiting aircraft departures.

Post Air Show & Departures
After the flying program ended there was a relaxed atmosphere and no push to get everyone off the airfield. My uncles and I enjoyed a stroll past the static aircraft, a brief chat with pilots and the like and then watched aircraft departures.

After enjoying the day we simply then drove out of the by then near empty carpark and avoided any traffic hassles. It was all in all a great day!
