Aussie Hornet, Roulette, Blackhawks.
Anyone know the best vantage points, particularly for the Hornet? Does anyone know who is flying the Hornet? Mick B said 'Acko' in another thread. We've just said goodbye to the pig, could this be the last 1 seat Hornet display? Not long to go:ok:

If you are inside the circuit, then most parts of the track are pretty good with the exception of the city end of the circuit where a few trees get in the way.
I usually just pick a hill out the back of the circuit.
Outside the circuit I couldn't tell you, but I'd imagine the ovals at the St Kilda end of the track would be a good start.
Don't tell me the Blackhawk is dropping off the Sherrin
Um, that "Blackhawk" is a Seahawk.....

On Sunday before the start of the race, the Beeb coverage here in the UK showed a Qantas A380 overflying in formation with the Roulette PC9's. Jake Humphrey was heard to say it was "full of passengers on their way to Los Angeles", which somehow I doubt!?

Roulettes hanging out with an A380 to get a head craned skyward these day?
I doubt passengers on board.

A380 was doing circuits near the Bay before forming up...
