I guess the point I'm trying to make is if you want t,o attract more enthusiasts, then you have to give the enthusiasts a reason to attend. Sure A380 attended in 2009, but did they give an aircraft handling display? Avalon get a healthy amount of aircraft in attendance, but a lot if them don't fly or if they do the display is a little underwhelming.
Just my opinion, but it sounds like a lot of av nerds on here agree.
As for location. Better chance of overseas military attending if its at a military location. Richmond/Nowra have always been good airshow venues.
