Red Bull

Unfortunately for aviation officiandos RBAR is not about the bits in between it is all about the TV time to Europe and those noisy little things that fly the course.

The fact that the organisers were able to get the RAAF involved is commendable. QF are hamstrung by CASA who are hamstrung by inaction and lack of innovation. My understanding is that the QF drive by was always to be a 73 as there was not a 76/74 in the shed available in Perth at the scheduled time of display.

Did like the Hornet though.

Congratulations to Perth ATC for designing the procedures and airspace that allows such special events to take place underneath some of the busiest terminal airspace in the country.
