Long-Eze
C185 Amphib.
Glass Air III
Kitfox
Seneca
172
Husky 182
150/150
Carbon Cub (x2)
DW10 (I had to look it up to, and am even well familiar with Dean Wilson)
Skylark
Mooney

Watched the Carbon Cub land with the Long Eve right behind it followed but 185 Amphib, got me looking around at the wide variety of airplanes we have operating this morning..
Sorry should have been taking photos.

This makes me realize how bad I am at pointing out what other planes are on the ramp.

Can I please buy a vowel? Not having much luck looking this one up - lots of links to DC-10s...

PHotos are a bit scarce and I didn’t think about it until it was gone.
I thought it was a Vagabond at 1st, but apparently is a bit bigger as is 4 seats and o-320 engine according the the registration. So probably similar to a Pacer.

Found this thing while looking for pictures of the DW10, apparently a "Private Explorer II"

caption: "This was a strange sight to behold at Parafield Airport. I was thinking of what it resembled, A origami water bomb? Or perhaps a Savannah VG on steroids? This Private Explorer II was designed by Dean Wilson and is a scaled-down single-engine version of his twin-engined Wilson Global Explorer. The aircraft is a strut braced high wing aircraft constructed with tubular steel and covered in canvas. The interior has four passenger seats in the front section and a double bed and two armchairs in the rear. This particular aircraft has been fitted with floats in its recent past too for operations on water. It has a range of 1,287 km and a cruise speed of 161 km/h."

Apparently designed for the mile high club?

The DW10 is back this morning, so here is a photo.

I think the reason I thought it was a Vagabond at 1st is when I 1st saw it it was parked next to the 185 Amphib which made it look smaller than it is.
