VH-FVR is back in the country. Arrived in Alice Springs from Port Headland and is scheduled to depart from Alice Springs to Wagga (weather depending).

Does it fly straight, or always bank to the left ?

Haha! No idea, it arrived about an hour earlier then scheduled. Missed it arriving and had to scramble to get a photograph of it.
