Well if it goes anywhere else it won't be an Avalon Airshow will it....
A some have said, its a crap airshow....by world standards....against farnborough...the worlds best airshow. (except Paris, according to the french, but who really cares what they think)
The reality is a subtle difference in purpose.
Farnborough is pure 'show'
Avalon, paris and oshkosh are about trade.
A friend of mine recently returned from oshkosh, and most of his banter has been about what he learnt in the trade displays about systems available etc. The air display was a minor part for him.
I've done a couple of avalon's and after the first i certainly found more interesting things in the trade tents. Whats available, whats coming. The ASA controller sim at the last one was a lot of fun..and FREE!.
Still the best Airshow i've been to in Oz was the bicentennial at Point cook..still got an instamatic pic of the ct4 formation over the top forming 88.
