Avalon Air show

[GTX]

Hi folks (especially anyone in Melbourne or Australia),

Any one going to be in town around the Avalon air Show (http://www.airshow.net.au/avalon2009/index.html)?  I have to be there for work and thought it might be a chance to catch up with some people.

PM me if you'd like.

Regards,

Greg

Well I spent 4 days there and was lucky to have seen less than 5mins worth of flying!  Didn't even have time to see what was on display - hopefully some of the other members who attend will have time to take pics.

Regards,

Hi Greg, I missed this post! I was there Tuesday and Wednesday. Managed to take a couple of hundred photos. Mainly detail shots for a few builds I am doing.

Here are a couple from the day, link to album....

It looks like you had half the USAF down there for the show! 

Presumably that was a mock-up F-35, was it?

Doh!  If I had known, we might have tried to meet up (I was there Tuesday - Thursday).   Mind you - you may have seen me but not known!

Thanks for the pics - I wonder what the Navy lass on the M1A1 was up to???.

No it was the real thing - Australia has taken over the program

G'day Gang,

The majority of my camera time was video which accounts for the lack of numbers, but here's a series from the day.

and some of the RAAF ADG's (Airfield Defence Guards) arsenal

a couple from the ARA (Aussie Regular Army) School of Armour

and finally, something from the Exposition Pavillion. 

The RCL arty hanging off the helo looked particularly like something one of us would have done!
