Erickson Aircranes at Essendon Airport

It’s not often you will see six Erickson Aircranes all in the one place at the one time. It doesn’t even happen at their base in the United States all that often, as the machines are out all over the world.

These photos, slide show provided below, were taken after the Aircranes that had been in Australia for the summer were all flown to Essendon Airport early this week in preparation for shipping to the northern hemisphere. Four will go to Europe via Greece, one back to the United States, while the other Aircranes route is still undecided.
