I've never been to an airshow at night....looks pretty spectacular...lots of photo ops for all you photogs with some of that very fancy camera gear. !!!
Probably generated a bunch of UFO calls from around the area !!!

Not sure if it's as good but Avalon has a night flying session at their airshow.

I was there. It was the Saturday night at Oshkosh this year. Awesome night.

They do, however I went to Avalon in 2009 and the clouds (fog) rolled in late afternoon and ruined a lot of the night time activities.
Some RAAF planes still flew, but all you got was noise (not bad in itself), but the likes of the Lockheed Super Constellation were reduced to taxiing runs to demonstrate flames shooting out the exhausts.
It ended up being a wet weekend all round for the airshow that year.
