You guys are a sorry bunch of tainted know-it-all individuals, who have obviously seen and done it all!

If you don't want to see these aircraft, then don't go. The airshow is not the "insert- your-names-here Airshow", it is staged to give the "ice-cream licking public" a chance to see aircraft they wouldn't normally see in their day to day 'non-aviation lives', and companies to do business. It is a chance for kids to see some fast stuff, oldies to see some old stuff and people to learn about aviation.

Some of you guys should set up a stall, it would be the one-stop-shop for everything you ever wanted to know about aviation, you could call it "Yawn..been there, done that Aviation".

Who knows, those 'boring' F-15/16's might inspire a kid to fly and put some fresh blood into our skies.

ADF Tent
Cool indoor displays that disappear promptly at 12pm Friday
Some kind of UAV on display
Numerous top-end aircraft manufacturers, Cirrus, Cessna
Couple of Citation type machines that NOBODY can ever afford
Many corporate helicopters that don't fly, there for advertising purposes
Numerous local GA flying schools with their showpiece 1981 Cessna 172
Numerous local RA-Aus schools with their Jabiru's
XXX-whit, some of these things are actually trying to get people INTO aviation; probably not good for you guys, as it would reduce the whingeing you could do about 'our dying industry'.


Dagwood dogs
You guys need something to keep your energy up, walking around saying 'seen it before, flew yesterday, designed it, this is sh&t' is hard work!

Here's an idea, stay home, and let those yet untainted by your pettiness have a chance of enjoying themselves.
