Yep was a good morning, except for the swarm of bees that surrounded the crowd where I was just before the F-18 arrived.
I'd be a bit worried about some of the people who were reaching up and touching stuff in the wheel wells of the QF76. They had all the doors open and the crowd seemed to jump the line and go right up and were reaching and touching.....scary stuff. Photos to follow shortly. I might even be arsed and do a trip report. Todd, I got some shots of the MD82 cabin as well as the flight deck, didn't they let you?? I've seen the F-18 demo heaps of times, either in a show or practiced over Willytown, and I swear he mucked up yesterday. One of his high Alpha maneuvers nearly looked like it resulted in a stall and he had to push over quick to get out of it. I could be wrong, but at the time I thought at his altitude he was a bit low for what he was trying to do. But the missed approach and high speed pass was good...... Stuff to follow

The new display pilot, 'Acko', did his first show at Nowra the same afternoon and did well considering it was his first public display.

Yeah, he did the usual high alpha low air speed pass, but after that he did a pass and went down towards the south of the airfield and he pulled into High G tight turn but then pulled up out of the turn with not much airpseed and the plane seemed to hang on the pull up. i could hear the afterburners kick in but it didn't seem to start climbing. After it started marginally climbing he did a fairly abrupt pushover. Just haven't seen it done like that before.

The MD-82 Captain said 'No photos of the cabin, but feel free to take photos of the Cockpit' and even the Canberra Time's stated no photos were allowed to be taken of the MD-82 interior. I was lucky enough to be able to get in, when I arrived at the aircraft they were saying no before Mr Palmer came down and said that people could have another 30 minutes of tours. That even got a mention in the Canberra Times aswell!
