Well I went for first time since 09' and thoroughly enjoyed the flying display with my 2 sons. Number 2 son isn't too keen on extra loud noises normally so had ear protection for him, after the F35 takeoff, he said to me, "Daddy, I just learnt that while we cant touch noise, noise can certainly touch you!" Although the F35 display was a bit tame and kinda lame excuse about not having aero's qualified pilot it was fantastic to see it fly, pity it cant fly too far though. Highlight was the F-22, what an amazing machine, perhaps RAAF shoulda bought them. Another highlight was seeing the 2 F/A18's refuelling from the KC30.
Final highlight of the trip for me was the flight home on Sunday from MEL to BNE on ****stars 787. My first trip on one. Nice aeroplane, certainly leaps and bounds better than a click-n-clack A320.
