These are a few pictures from the MAF (Missionary Aviation Fellowship Open Day at Camden, NSW in October 2001.
All photographs were taken using a Praktica MTL3 (SLR camera) with a Fuji 50 mm, f1.4 lens on Kodak Portra 800 print film, and scanned onto a Kodak Picture CD by the minilab. Adjustments were made in Paint Shop Pro v3.11.
There were displays of information, etc, plus the restored aircraft below.

| Me "in command" of VH-BUX, a Cessna 170 from the 1950s. (The pilot in command of an aircraft sits to the left, with the co-pilot to the right.) One day I hope to learn to fly. |
Joy flights were a major part of the day. I went up in a Piper Navajo 6 seat twin engine aircraft. These 2 how the aircraft banking for final aproach, and an a few moments from touching down. The crosswind is evident, in that the runway is visible out the left-hand side of the windscreen when I am sitting in the right side of the aircraft, in the middle row.
