Lilydale Photo Gallery
We want YOUR photos of favourite planes, events, people at Lilydale. Email them to jonathanm@lilydaleairport.com.au and we'll put them up with full credits!
Lilydale had a particularly great year in 2006. Highlights included a visit from a P51D Mustang, and flying tours of New Zealand, Wagga, Narracoorte and Perth plus airshows at Temora, Wanaka and the Red Bull Air Racing! Click here to see the 2006 photos!
The 2005 Gallery was a fun year. We have photos from flyaways to Flinders Island, Lake Mungo, Kangaroo Island, Outback Pub Crawls plus a flying tour of New Zealand! Add in Nav Trials, Aerobatic Displays and even some photos from Lilydale in the 70's! Highlights of the 2004 Gallery were flyaways to Lake Eyre, Fraser Island, Birdsville Races plus fun nav trials and much, much more! The 2003 Gallery has such gems as flights to Bathurst, White Cliffs, Birdsville and a true 3-week Outback Adventure by Stephan Pfeiffer in Archer CJR. Also formation flying, a globe-trotting Bonanza, Nav trials, and many Lilydale instructors and students. The 2002 Gallery included flights to Arkaroola, Flinders Ranges, Perth, Lake Eyre, Lake Mungo, and the 'once in a decade' Solar eclipse.
