Ooh nice.

I hope the F-111 does a dump 'n burn, that is truly awesome.

I lived near the Story Bridge in Brisbane last year and they have a couple light up over the bridge to start and finish the Riverfire festival.

Yep there is, hope to see many of you there.

A bit of inside info: Tomorrow at 1130 there'll be a full rehearsal of the flying display so if you want to see it get in early for a good parking space :-)

Th F-111 will be there as will some huge cargo aircraft, forget what it's called though... C-5 springs to mind but I may be wrong...

Some info for those who want it:

Prehaps a C-5 Galaxy? or a starlifter?

It's the one in the PDF map anyway... Above and to the right of the C-130s.

I could look it up but a club member who's also an avid planespotter will probably beat me to it...

Which day J??

or both??

It's just the one day, Saturday. Sunday is only if we get rained out.

Turns out it's a RAAF C-17, SO gonna have to get a look at that, they make the C-130's look teensy weensy...

The rehearsal today was great, it's gonna be an awesome show!! Did anyone else see the rehearsal today? There were certainly a lot of people parked up along the road outside base...

The F-111 is staying at Ohakea because the people who live around base whinge about the noise too much. I mean really, who moves in next to an Air Force Base and then complains about the noise? It almost as bad as moving in next to Western Springs Speedway then complaining about the noise... get a grip people, we were here first!!!!

Ok rant over.

Complain about it!! OMG! You GO there just to listen to it!!

A miilion years ago I remember coming back from Muriwai beach, stoned as rabbits, when the Hercs were doing circuits and bumps one night. We stopped the car and stood right at the end of the runway where you could easily see the faces of the pilots as they came down over our heads. Low as anything, wouldn't be 50' above the fence.

The a pair of Skyhawks slipped in under the cover of darkness and as one landed his wingmate opened the throttles and scared the bejeezes out of us!! :lol:

..and the C-17, all 260tons of it..

Bad news, the C-17 isn't coming now, the Aussies have had an important tasking for it, more important that us apparently...
However they have replaced it with another F-111 :-D

The French have bought over one of their CASA cargo aircraft too, looks like a miniature C-130 with only 2 engines.

Hope to see lots of you there tomorrow, it's gonna be a great day!!

It was a great day... The F1-11 was awesome, noisy too :rolleyes:

The highlight of the day however for me is between the 757 display and the Seasprite display... it was awesome!!!

Oh yes, and I did bump into Jermemy...

nahh... after all my planning I ended up at work... :(

The Warbirds flew over my place this morning on their way to Dairy Flat, then I went and checked up on asbestos jobs and by the time I got home it was 2pm already!!

Paperwork all afternoon and a quick check of the wheel aligment on Greeneyes and the day is gone!
