On Sunday 14th October Mitch (my oldest son) and I drove across to Jamestown in South Oz for their annual Airshow and fly-in.
This was probably the best organised and run country event I’ve been to. Huge crowd yet quick entry and plenty of room alongside the runway for perfect viewing.
The show started on time and the action didnt stop. There were no breaks just a solid six hours of air show.

I've uploaded a heap of pics to my blog. I'll post a sample from each with the link to the page. Hope you like them.

Greta pics mate. Love the Roulettes pic with the biplanes on the ground. Very cool.

I worked at the Avalon Air Show last time and am on the list to work again in the new year. I do ground support and escort work in my GUIV. Does not get any closer ;)
