dougal_s Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 some good pics there mate...Dident happen to get any pics of the corporate jets did you? Thanks, no- just pics of the military stuff so far. I haven't got a chance to go wander around the static displays yet. I hope to do that tomorrow.
Robbo Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 say guday to the boys at the Bombardier and Execujet stand for me :)
Uncle Chop Chop Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 was there any wing walkers? I didn't see any today. It was very windy and wet.
Robbo Posted March 15, 2009 Author Posted March 15, 2009 Yep don't think there were any there............ Strange....... I will have to email Lee Oman and see why he dident attend.
DC449 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Just got back, had front row seats, right on the fence :). The weather was just okay up until 3:00. Very pissed that the F-111 not flying, also alot of people got scared when the small grass fire started. Does anyone know why only 1 roulette was there?
Robbo Posted March 15, 2009 Author Posted March 15, 2009 it was probably the solo roulette....... others may have had other commitments.

Guest Jay Bull Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Here's some pics i got. Blurry i know, i'm not that good of a photographer :P >> http://photobucket.com/AvalonAirshow << The first picture i have tried to put on a.net, it's still being approved... The rest are on the photobucket album ;) The Airshow was pretty cool this year i have to say.
Uncle Chop Chop Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Well I thought I wouldn't go becaue I would have just got home from the speedway but it was rained out so I decided to go. Great day out looking at the old and new aircraft. The flying displays where awesome but it was a shame about the weather. The F-111 display was cancelled sue to the crosswind. It is amazing the size of the Qantas B747-400ER and the V Australia B777-300. Next time it's on I will be going to the Friday Night and also the Sunday.
DC449 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Yeah in 2011 i will have a job hopefully, and i should be able to afford to go friday and sunday.
Uncle Chop Chop Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Some Great photos there guys. OK here I go. Some of my pics from the Sunday. It was Cold, Wet and Windy but that just made it evan better. The Blades of a Chopper. Lots of bolts there. The Connie during it's Demonstartion. Because of the Wind, the Connie never flew on this day. Still great to hear and see it in the flesh. 1 of the Hornets in flight suring their flying display. Jetstar A320 taking off to another great Aussie Destination. This is my favorite Pic. It is my new Background Pic. Great angle. Omega MD-11 was a welcome visitor That is only a snippit of what I got. More to come when I get the chance to do some editing. Hope you all enjoy.
dougal_s Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Just stumbled upon this on the Street Directory website - a kind of Google Street View of the airshow. It is quite neat, check it out at: http://www.street-directory.com.au/sd_new/mapsearch.cgi?x=144.470603&y=-38.033388&level=6&svid=121687
