I recently had the opportunity to photograph this amazing RV-7 aircraft whist in flight.
Cairns Professional Photographer, Catherine Coombs captures this RV-7 in Flight
This particular RV-7 is hangared at the Herberton Aerodrome. The weather was not ideal for the coastal flight that was planned, so we headed west and ended up at Chillagoe.
The 2 seat aircraft is powered by a rotary engine.
I don’t know much about planes… so the detail about the Aircraft below are courtesy of Wikipedia.
