Ok thanks Andrew. If so, Will its tail be sticking out and is the hanger in photo range?

I drove to the previous airshow from MEL Apt as I did it as a day trip from BNE.

The drive was fine - the last few KM's into the car park were a little slow but nothing chaotic compared to the Brisbane traffic we deal with everyday!!

Good move. Driving from the Geelong way is less chaos than coming from Melb. You will most likely only get a bit bumper to bumper once on the airport grounds just before the carpark.

Yeah it's not like Boeing need to flog it off to us anymore, we've bought the damn things! Bring something new/different Boeing.

Like what Tony? What else are they trying to flog off to us that is available for sale and for display?

Boeing is actually trying to sell us more Super Hornets, plus they and the RAAF think it's important for the taxpayers to see what their money is buying them.

Going by the sensitivities surrounding EBU's future, I think it'll be as out of site as possible Tim.

If you think the Super Hornet display is a "yawn fest", then you're obviously not easily entertained Daniel!

What else would you like to see? Before you answer, don't forget there's a recession either on or just about to hit most of the world, and consequently most of the exhibitors this year have scaled back their presence at the show.

The best entertainment for the public to see day by day would VH-EBU facing the muncher.Then they would have an idea what happens to older aircraft when they have had their life.
