Description

Captured back on 10/27/08, at the Joint Forces Training Base in beautiful Los Alamitos, California. The CAC CA-25 Winjeel (Aboriginal for "Young Eagle") is an Australian-designed and manufactured three-seat training aircraft. Entering service with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in 1955 as a basic to advanced trainer, it served in this role until 1975. Later, it was used in the Forward Air Control (FAC) role for target marking until 1994, after which it was retired from RAAF service. Source: Wikipedia. Waltzing Matilda. I bet that one of the last things you would ever expect to see on Renderosity is one of these uncommon aircraft.

very clear bright shots, Harry, to suit the bright silver and that great red of the craft. Your usual composition is here---in shot one, the lineup of the fuselage's angle as it leads up to the windows and roof to our left. The jut of the back tail wing into the blank building behind it. And the angle of the left-side building lining up with the angle of the plane, in shot two, or the terrific play of shadows on the ground, to complement the plane; or the lineup of the propeller's edge-whites with the opening in the nose of the plane (the vertical curved opening: the propeller edges are in perfect sync with that). Fine shots once more.
