To get off Avalon bashing and back to the original question
Apparently 2015 might be the last at Avalon and was wondering where should it be held in the future? What would be a suitable alternative in Australia that would please both trade & punter attendees?
Thoughts?
Avalon air show uses a substantial area of hard stand and a huge area for all the marquees and stuff, and a runway not occupied by constant RPT traffic, preferable somewhere near a major city for accommodation.
I do not know of another domestic airport that would fill the bill, any one with the runway and the hardstand area has significant RPT Traffic.
A RAAF base might do it if the RAAF comes onside and can get its head around allowing access to the hordes who will attend. Richmond, Newcastle or Nowra come to mind. (I am not familiar with Sale, Edinburgh or Amberley).
PS - the A380 was at Avalon in 2009
