However, is it not feasible to get at least one Mig 29 or Harrier or something different to previous years as a show highlight?
Mate, every year they ask. Airshows Downunder can't control foreign mil - they get what they get. Be thankful for it.
F111 cancelled on Sunday (B1 & other acts too) due XW out of limits on wet runway. Hardly within the control of Airshows Downunder. Runway dried out by the time the F18s went on.
Feet on the dash, you were obviuosly not around when the Wide Bay airshow was cancelled due to terrential rain a few years back.
Wide Bay never cancelled due to weather.
I remember going to a Geelong Airshow at Grovedale around 15 years ago...
Yeah? How many B1s did they have there? A380s or Jumbos? I've been to plenty of airshows, some better, some not. They're all different. You don't go to Grovedale to see the heavy metal and you don't go to Avalon to see the stuff you can see at Grovedale.
- Have it a few weeks sooner when the weather is a bit kinder
Show dates were forced to move thanks to Melbourne F1 taking priority.
Was about time someone did this at Avalon...
Aircraft & Aerospace has been putting out a show daily since at least '95.
Did anyone enjoy that Jelly Belly thing?
Personally, I thought it was a bloody good demonstration of precision flying.
Did that new helo we just bought fly? NH90 is it?
No and yes, in that order.
How can one get a gig?
