Some More Plane Spotting Photos from Gladstone Airport incl Around Australia Seaplane Adventure for the Make-a-wish Foundation

Last Thursday 29 May, some special visitors called into Gladstone Airport, and local plane spotters Jamie and Tash were on hand to capture some of the action.  The three seaplanes that called into Gladstone were taking part in the Australian Seaplane Adventures 2014 Around Australia Seaplane Adventure fundraiser for the Make-a-wish Foundation of Australia.

The three seaplanes included New South Wales-based Lake LA-4-200 Buccaneer VH-EZC.

Brisbane-based Amateur-built Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey LSX VH-XWW.

And fellow Amateur-built Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey LSX VH-SEY which is registered in Maryborough.

The three seaplanes reportedly arrived at Gladstone after an overnight stay on Great Keppel Island and were captured by Jamie and Tash departing for Maryborough.
