Nice to see that bird again. There is a better one but that one is much smaller, 250 pixel wide! http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?105900-Small-Air-Forces-Thread-14&p=1775552#post1775552

Now we are loooking for a picture of the other plane of the Tonga Maritime Force, the American Champion Citabria. So far I'm not finding anything! registration is known: AW-02 (ex N8649V (cx 9/09) Tonga Defence Air Wing current)

edit. Looking again for the Citabria I came upon this:

Oops, a repost again (and following the link, the Malian MiG-21 picture is also a repost, sorry).
And your pictures of Tonga Beech are far better than mine. :eagerness:
