And it sounds like the > Pacific Airshow at Surfers was a dud... I'll do the Avalon Show in '25 but I hope to go on the trade day. My son in law is a defence contractor and went to the trade show on the Wednesday this year. Said it was great. No crowds, quick getting into and out of the place. We went on the Friday which while the lines into the carpark started at the freeway exit, took probably half an hour to get in. Crowd-wise it was OK, the grandstands were chockers so we went for a walk to gawk at the parked up F18s (can't remember if they were Growlers (E18Gs) or Super Hornets. But remove the "ets" from the name and that describes how they looked and performed. The public area was almost deserted so we set up camp under a gazebo with the camera. Incidentally, as we arrived, so too did a Qantas A330 being escorted by two F18s/E18Gs. all three aircraft were flown by women. Met the pilots flying the fighters. Made me pine for my 20s, it did... Yeah, heard that the Pacific Airshow was a bit disappointing, what with a few promised aircraft not turning up. Saw the RAAF GoPro cockpit vision on YT. Impressive.
