NSW Police Air Wing recently opened the doors of their hangar at Bankstown Airport to the public. I headed down to Bankstown on a warm Saturday morning and after a quick ID check with details noted on a check sheet, I was in the hangar.<\/p>\n

Inside the main hangar were a number of displays and a merchandise stand. The newest aircraft, Polair 4 was set in the middle of the hangar as well as an old Highway Patrol Falcon 500. Outside on static display were Polair 5\/Fireair 1, Polair 3 and vehicles from Police Rescue, Police Dog Squad, Marine Area Command and Fire & Rescue NSW. A Porsche demonstrator currently on loan to NSW Police was also present.<\/p>\n

Shortly after arriving Polair 2 returned to land after a short flight, and did so around 100m from the barriers set up to keep visitors off the airfield. <\/p>\n

It was a great display, and the only difficult part was getting clear photos of the displays – always a challenge at these types of events. And as I left, I snuck in a great sausage sizzle!<\/p>\n
