We wonder why aviation rarely gets good
PR in this country and why there is no longer a fascination with flight. Yet here, on a forum frequented by people who supposedly have a passion for aviation, I see posts taking delight in criticising Australia's premier aviation event and complain about having to share it with Joe public.
Seeing people marvel at military jets and aerobatics for the first time makes any av geek like me proud. Even if they don't get the aviation bug they may think twice before signing a petition to close a local airfield. Instead of arguing where the Australian International Air Show should be, there should be an effort to have more airshows around Australia or grow the ones we already have.
Can't wait to go tomorrow!
