I went wednesday and it was OK but same as every other year.

I hate to think what it would be like if the Americans decided not to fly all the way down here one year.
They flew 2 Super Hornets and 2 B1s (with tankers) and a C-5 all the way from the USA. F-16s and F-15 from Japan.
Without them it'd be basically the RAAF Hornets, Hawks and F-111.

I wanted to go today but the thought of paying $50 to wallow around in the mud just didn't get appealing enough. They have been flying a few of the big noise makers this afternoon though.

Where are all these neighbours that bought Flankers etc?

Why don't the poms send down a Typhoon and try to show up the Super Hornet?
