G'day,
Last weekend was the annual Australian Defence Force airshow and this year it was held at Williamtown AFB just outside of Newcastle. A great variety of aircraft were on show including the debut of the RAAF's F/A-18F Super Hornets and the last public display of the RAAF's F-111. Cry

I attended the Saturday show and was very impressed by the flying program with a number of never to be repeated, unique to Australia formation displays. Cool

Please enjoy my photos...

Cheers
Mitch

You lucky sod. I was going to try and make the trip to Williamtown, but something came up the day before the show.

Now I have to make a trip to Amberley this December to watch the F-111 retire. I hope they do a dump and burn.

Thought you might enjoy these James. Sorry to hear you didn't make it though, weather was perfect. I've been to a fair few airshows and I rate this one pretty high. Wink

Here's a shot just for you. 3 F-111's in formation, each showing the different degrees of wing sweep.

Cool

Looks like that was a great time.

That F111 shot is perfect, I've never seen that kind of pic of it before. Smiley

For you Glenn

It was actually straight after a touch & go and surprised the hell out of all of us, we thought he was landing. Grin
