It's great to see another CAC Boomerang return to the sky with tests flights of A46-54 (VH-MHB) earlier this year. Some great footage of this aircraft here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48d16t1H8-8 https://www.briangrinter.com/2026/07/another-boomerang-takes-flight/ #flying #warbirds

Wife always got the stations where people giving out the HTC cards got into punch ups I just got the station where the sitting Member died the morning of the election…
