Photo of the Day - August 26th, 2018
Yesterday morning, I headed out to Perth International Airports public viewing platform, getting there shortly after the gates open to the public and spending a few hours hoping for some decent photos of jets taking off and landing. Unfortunately the wind conditions weren't conducive to flights using the strip in front of the viewing area, so most were taking off and landing on the East/West runway (Runway 06/24). As it would turn out, only a single jet would use the main North/South runway where the viewing area is situated, Runway 03/21, and that was only because that particular jet requires a runway a few hundred metres longer than 06/24 in order to take off. As such, the subject for today's Photo of the Day is China Southern Airlines' Airbus A330-300, B-5939, about to take off at Perth International Airport (PER), headed for Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) in China under flight number CZ320.

Photo of the Day - August 24th, 2018
Today's Photo of the Day features Western Australia's Matt James exiting the Springmount Raceway burnout pad in UNWANTED, his blown Holden VF Commodore Ute, after finishing his final skid at Northern Nats 2018. Matt ended up taking home second place for the weekend as well as winning the power skid competition on the drag strip. Scoring for Northern Nats is more of an endurance event than most burnout competitions, with entrants having to complete three skids over three days and their score being the total score for all three attempts. Add to that the particular conditions at Springmount Raceway which, at an elevation of approximately 400 metres (or 1300 feet) above sea level, has air a little thinner than at most of Australia's burnout pads, and scoring well at Northern Nats is no mean feat.
