Katherine
3 x F/A-18 Hornet - slow and low single pass
C'mon, Katherine doesn't need a display. They get one every working day of the year. Every time I was down there in 2007 the pax got a display of their tax dollars being turned into noise and fumes.

Also a big vote of appreciation for the Roulettes. In 2008 I was at Tennant Creek when they arrived to refuel. They were on their way to Singapore and couldn't do Alice Springs to Tindal with reserves due to some unsightly weather in the way.

Within minutes of the unscheduled landing and the arrival of several hordes of school children, the lads were organising small education groups giving talks about the aircraft, what they do and selling the RAAF as a career. Great effort and the RAAF certainly get value for money from them. Keep up the good work.
