HARS museum Australia (July 2023)

Museums
1

It’s been little over a year ago that I paid a visit to the HARS museum at Wollongong (Shellharbour airport) near Sydney.
I planned my visit during one of their tarmac weekends, when they usually fly and/or ground-run some of their exhibits. In July 2023, the tarmac weekend was DC-3 themed, as three of their C-47s/DC-3s did a simultaneous ground run. One of their S-2 Trackers was supposed to fly, but went tech so only did a ground run. The UH-1B Huey (ex RAN) did fly though.
Although some of these shots have been shown elsewhere (bot on- and offline), I picked some differents shots to show here. Hope you like 'em.

Love that tracker. Amazing it’s in flying condition.

The people at HARS are a great bunch of hard working people.
Not only they have a Tracker in flying condition, but also two Caribous, a Neptune and a Constellation. And then I’ve still forgotten several other gems.
Hoping to return there some day for another visit!
