Boy is that city architecture just as crap as Melbourne.

This year the C-17 was late for its time-slot for the F1 GP. People knew it was meant to arrive but like myself had lost interest looking up into yonder at nothing. The net result when it did finally make its entrance completely unannounced and at speed was spectacular to say the least. I was high up at the pavilion near the cricket pitch that was being used by the helicopters, I thought it comical that the pilot rolled his/her wings over the cricket pitch flood lights (he/she was high enough, but I guess he/she wanted to be sure). It was a nice bit of flying and I got a video of them on their second pass which wasn't as low but still as spectacular, even my European friends who viewed my video think we are all mad down here, but it was a lot of fun.

Well done ladies and gentlemen, I hope you can tease us again in 2019.
