Have to agree with Morning Mongrel - the Shell Chalet was excellent. Pretty p*ss poor show from the Yanks, guy on the Super Hornet sim told me 'political' reasons had caused them to withdraw some of their heavier metal.

What's got me buggered is how they can justify flying a B-52 from Darwin for a single fly by at 1000ft and then back to the NT.

Loved the Kiwi 75' - certainly proved that you can take the man out of the fighter but not the fighter out of the man. Would have been good to see the Wedgetail reef it around like our Tasman friends.

Shame that the Pig left his beacon active on the Friday night passes. Thought he came inbound lights-out in '03 - made for a more interesting reaction from those unaware of his approach.

Would like to know what some of the JQ blokes thought of landing in front of a crowd like Saturday's - must be a bit of a highlight for an airline jockey?

All in all, it was just another airshow - and I hope '07 is a whole lot better.
