After being stored at Jandakot since June 2014, this aircraft is seen here departing Jandakot to fly direct to Port Hedland. It later flew to Kununurra, Darwin and Koepang (Indonesia). The aircraft is used for geophysical surveys, detecting variations in the Earth’s magnetic field caused by mineral bodies, using a magnetometer tail “stinger” boom.

Back in its rightful place after being repaired and restored. During September 2013, there was a storm which snapped the mounting and the Mooney was blown off its concrete pylon. The aircraft belongs to the RFDS it was stored airside until a decision was made regarding its future. Fortunately, it was restored and recently returned to the pylon. This was an engineering experimental prototype Mooney M20H (c/n 1) airframe that had been used for load structural testing at the Mooney factory in Kerrville, Texas. It was donated by Mooney Aircraft to serve as a memorial to Robin Miller, and was transported to Australia aboard a USAF C-141 Starlifter transport aircraft. The memorial was unveiled on 20 May 1978. It was refurbished in January 1999. It is is painted to represent the real VH-REM Mooney M.20E Super 21 (c/n 424), which is still registered, that was formerly used by Robin E. Miller (hence the registration REM). Travelling to remote aboriginal communities, Robin Miller (daughter of the Australian aviation pioneer Horrie Miller) would treat children with Polio vaccine in sugar lumps and became known as “The Sugar Bird Lady”. She flew the real VH-REM around WA from September 1968-July 1972. Robin later joined the RFDS at Jandakot, and delivered several aircraft from USA to Australia. Robin Miller-Dicks died of cancer on 7 December 1975, at the age of 35.

Rottnest Air-Taxi was formed by Frank Stynman in the mid-1990s. It provides an air-taxi service between Jandakot and Rottnest Island (about 15 minutes flying time), coastal/Perth city/Swan River scenic flights from Jandakot and scenic/joy flights from Rottnest.
VH-WWL was built in 1976, ex N1465U, and was originally in floatplane configuration.
VH-ALL is perhaps the oldest airworthy Cherokee Six in the world, built in 1965 as the third off the production line. It was first registered in Australia in October 1965, ex N3203W.

Built 1980, ex N4845Y, N80FM. This aircraft has been modified with a special photographic survey pod called a ‘Hyperpod’ developed by Nearmap Pty Ltd. It replaces their previous Cessna 210s, VH-TKQ and VH-ZIO. The aircraft flies at a high altitude, enabling entire cities to be captured in a day or two. Once the imagery is captured, it is processed through super computers which run software known as ‘HyperVision’ which automatically processes and stitches together the many individual photographs captured into one virtually seamless PhotoMap. Along with traditional top-down photography, the HyperPod is also able to capture oblique aerial photographs from 4 different angles and digital elevation model data at the same time.
