Last weekend I visited the Jet Action day at Monarto. This was a 2 day competition with entrants from all over Australia. Monarto, which is around 75 kilometres east of Adelaide, South Australia, has one of the best fields around. I could only attend the Saturday so didn't get to see the full field of jets in action.

It was fascinating though as I'd never seen them before. It's quite an expensive hobby line to follow, I gather, so I may be sticking with my Glow models for a little longer.

They are fast. And the noise is terrific. I'm glad I visited.

And naturally, I took along my camera. I am still in the process of downloading pictures to the gallery, but there are quite a few there already. Have a look at: http://www.rchangout.com/gallery/showgallery.php/cat/557



This is a Grumman Cougar from the 1950's.

Very nice pics Wombat. I'd love to be flying jets, but they're out of my price and skill range---for now.

I'll bet these two felt right at home down under. The first is a Boomerang and the one with the dinged nose is a Kangaroo.

Thanks Hank, I now stand embarrasingly corrected. Next time I need to have a proper look.

And thanks ijc, camera is indeed good, and the lens also that cost almost as much as the camera. I am very pleased with it and it's results.
