• Point Cook Air Force Base - YMPC, Australia

I went up in Chipmunk VH-RSK for a 45 minute aerobatic flight (doing spins, rolls and loops) over Point Cook YMPC on 30Jan1972. I took this shot of Point Cook through the open window, while we were climbing to height - before we started doing aeros. Note the two 'Grass Runways' in addition to the two main Concrete Runways. Point Cook is the 'Birthplace of the Royal Australian Air Force', and the RAAF Academy buildings are in the top-centre of the picture. No 1 Basic Flying Training School (1BFTS), flying Winjeels, was also based at Point Cook. Low res photo.
