The JSF will only be on display. Look... it flew in here and it will fly out on Sunday. It beggars belief that it couldn't be displayed in the air during the show. What cock-eyed imperative was thought to be more important than a modest flying display at Avalon in 2017. The Australian public--after all--are paying 17 billion for 72 of them.
This year will be a perfect opportunity for Trump America to do a bit of showing-off. One hopes the organisers--through their defence and political connections--have had Hockey lobbying for them in 'the Swamp'. The usual B52 and Bone plus tanker from Guam are getting a bit ho-hum, I'm afraid.
