I spent Friday with a gold pass in the Sabre Stand.
I booked a seat on the top row, this gave us a breeze from the south southeast.
It was a good move as two years ago I cooked half way down the grandstand. The only issue on the top row is you have all the photographers with their telephoto lenses. When they stand, you have to as well otherwise you can't see what's coming from the north.

Transport went well from and too southern cross station & the volunteers did a great job on site.

Seemed to be a lot of moisture in the air as the vortices and vapor coming off the high speed jets especially the F22 was impressive.

Connie was the highlight once more, also the led lighting on the glider & sonex, the Herc flare drop, and the fire works. (Best I have seen)

Saturday I walked around with a general admission ticket.

Hopefully in 2019 it will be a smoke free event.

Enjoyed the weekend
Regards RW
