psssstt......Darrrrrrennnnnn.......the F22 Raptor is back this year and in the air buddy! Better wear the double-reinforced undies mate! The F-35 joint strike fighter is static display only this year. Maybe next show??

Anyway I just did a comparo table, Friday v Saturday/Sunday programs to decide which day to go but don't know how to upload a word or .pdf file here. Anyway I'm going Saturday.

Just browsing the website, I find the B1B is a static display! Is this fair dinkum?? The B1B Lancer is The. Most. Awesome. Aircraft. I've seen in action at the airshow (I think 2013) and I would sit for a week outside the airport just to see this thing take off! When it took off for its flying display back then, my eyeballs vibrated in their sockets standing about 200 ft off the runway hahaha!!

B-1B (Static Display)


Pity it's static only, but damn if it's there I'm excited!

I'll let you know Plas on Monday mate

Just heard on the radio an Antanov will be at the show. Crikey this is looking like a good show!

Hope it's the An-225! Phenominal machine. Was a static display at the airshow approx 1993 from memory and one flew in and out of Perth last year, probably mining equipment delivery.

They are saying its the Biggest Airshow Ever at Avalon mate. Its going to be Huge!! I will start a thread next week. Tapatalk was not working 2 years ago and i could not post pics throughout the day and had to try and get a photo bomb each night. I think i got 1100 pics last time!! Phones nearly full so will need to keep it a little under control but its going to be Epic!!

Nice. I was hoping either a USAF or RAAF Globemaster would be there! Another very impressive bird!

Am a bit of a plane nerd!

Just looked at the website again and found in the fine print which Antanov will be there:

Antanov VH-CCE



Hahaha bit of a difference between that and the AN-225!! Ah well, still be worth a look

Methinks the airshow man on the radio dropped the "Antanov" bombshell to get a bit of hype happening!
