Ok, reading these posts I felt obliged to add a comment. I had never been to an airshow and are fairly new to aviation having just obtained my Pilots Cert in LSA's but I was "blown away" by Avalon. I spent both Sat & Sun there and I was truly amazed at the airshow of which I felt there wasn't many gaps between them at all (except for the jetstar problem and the over promotion of them).
This makes me think that the organisers have a big problem. How to deliver a show that would take enormous project management skills (and I take my hat off to them for that - could you organise a multi million dollar event like that - can you imagine the organisation that this show would take and being purely subjective to the weather and so many different political suppliers?) and keep it interesting for both new comers and experienced show goers?
I would have liked to have seen more LSA there and more local content in the tents.
