The Hornet completed its display a short time ago. I thought it was an impressive show, with lots of low level passes, high alpha climbs and good handling manoeuvres.
I haven't been to many air displays in recent years, but I reckon this performance would have satisfied the critics.

just jumped in2 the car for the trip home. Very impressed by the hole day. All exhbits were great inc 1 by our own danny rizk showing off d-rizk. Hornet display was prob better than the 1 at temora last year. It went u/s when it was about 2 leave. Had gear/hydraulics problems. Il post a link 2 photos when i look at them.

I enjoyed Wings Over Illawarra today, and although the weather was not so great, there were plenty of aircraft on display and in the air. I caught up with some of the Schofields crew who had flown down and saw a number of aircraft for the first time.

Was nice meeting you Kieran, glad you liked the big model!
Did you take any pics of it?

Unfortunetly the hornet once again had some problems prior to departing and after packing up all my models the hornet was still sitting idle at 5.30pm...

Grahame, absolutely fantastic photos! What lenses do you use just out of curiousity?


I managed to fill a 2GB card full of photos yesterday. The following are just a sample of the lot, and a few is bits of experimentation for me, both incorporating people in a shot as well as other angles of an aircraft. Might post some others when I get home from work tonight.
