Looks like the weather was a bit better on the Sunday Jonathan, and you had the bonus of the C17, Orion and Sabre.

Great shots Jonathan ; thanks for sharing.

Did you take a list of what aircraft were attending ?

Cheers

I couldn't make the airshow because of night shift, but I managed to snap these from home when I was wasn't sleeping.

Thanks Grahame ; thanks Jonathan.

Do you have a list of the Roulettes please as I think there may have been at least one new aircraft amongst them - ie A23-006 was last noted with 2 FTS in 2015.

Cheers

Bob,

006, 027,053 from the photos above.

The RAAF will rotate aircraft through the Roulettes depending of flight hours and maintenance needs.

I wrote this doco on ADF Aerobatic Teams some years ago for ADF Serials.

It might be of interest.
