This is a 2 year contract only, the next will be the last in Perth unless the contract is renewed. I agree with all those who said go on a practice day. You can get in among the aircraft, talk to the pilots, and generally be more than an immobile sardine with a cricked neck. For practice days the place to be is Langley Park where the a/c operate from. Langley Park was once Perth's main airport, and is only a few hundred yards from the city center. You will be able to park almost on top of it, and it is only a couple of hundred yards from the foreshore where you can see the gates and action. Take a seat to sit on and an esky full of cold beer and you will have a great time.
