Wings Over Illawarra - Sunday 27th Feb

[Kurt A]

Hi ladies and gents,

A pleasant reminder about the Wings Over Illawarra Air Show being held on Sunday 27th February at Albion Park in NSW.

It's the first year that the show is being formally recognised by CASA, and can now be referred to as a full blown "Air Show".

There's plenty happening on the day, so swing over to their website for all the details.

Might see a few of you down there!

I'll definitely be there, and will probably have a few other photographers tagging along with me.

I've been to the last couple of WOI airshows, and it gets better every year.
If form is anything to go by, it will probably blow up a storm in the afternoon as well.
See you all there.

Thats why I said at the moment.

[andrew evans]

and Paul I do live in Sydney(whats that got to do with it).Without looking into it to far but how about we start with a state that has a better record of weather.

Andrew just kidding with ya, I can't comment on woi as my first one was last year and the weather got worse in the arvo as i recall. But as for Avalon I've been to every airshow since it started in 1992 and can say that the only shows to suffer due to rain was 1995 and was the trade days by the weekend there were a few showers, and 2009 when it rained on Saturday.

So the shows inbetween there was good weather some of them it was boiling hot. And just to add my 2 cents on average it rains more in Sydney than it does in Geelong, as I have noticed when I moved from there to Sydney over a year ago much more rain here...

The good old South of the Border whine "but it rains more in Sydney". Yeah yeah, but check out the average amount of sunshine between Sydney & Melbourne. At least in Sydney you don't have to put the heating on in Febuary like I did this morning! Tomorrow I'll need the air-con on!
