This is almost a Who's Who of Australian Warbirds.
Just wish I could be there.

I've taken a couple of shifts off work to take the family there on Saturday. It will be my first airshow since WOI 2013. I'm really looking forward to it!

Constellation was absent, unless it was located where the jets were parked (couldn't get that far, too many people!)

Again A30-003 was the Boeing 737-7ES/E-7A Wedgetail and A41-213 (second last C-17 to be delivered to the RAAF) to do the fly over.

I believe Connie had some maintenance issues that needed to be sorted before she could go. From what I understand HARS tried desperately to get her up, but it just wasn't to be.

Nice shot of the Wedgetail. I saw it fly over but was occupied with the kids and never got the chance to get a photo.

You must have got there early to get the Herc like that....by the time we arrived at 0945 there were chairs set up in the shade of the wings. Oh, and there's a lack of dust in the image

Got though the gates at 9:20am, most of the good spots were already taken! The spot I picked was great for the Roulettes and F/A18 Hornet but worst spot with the dust!

I was hoping the Herc would be putting on a display, but not to be.
