Hey,
My father & I popped into the city today to grab some photo's of the aviation action. I agree with Andrew, the F-111 was severely disappointing with its only fly past along with the C-130. However not all was doom & gloom as I managed to capture a few photos of the Italian NH-90 performing a winching demonstration in Farm Cove after its run up & back down the harbour. These are the best from today:
Seaking towing the Australian Flag infront of the Opera House
Formation of the 3 Hornets on their final run down the Harbour towards the North Head.
Qantas A380 turning towards the city into the sunlight of course to come back down the Harbour (sorry about the poor quality of photo).
Italian NH-90 heading up the Harbour towards the bridge.
Winching Demonstration in Farm Cove.
C-130H climbing over the Harbour Bridge (note: did anyone hear the Herc drop the throttle to idle when it climbed over the bridge?)
All in all, i thought it was a good day considering I had never seen an F-18 or F-111 in person.
