Certainly looks like a packed program. Hopefully it keeps the kids happy for a few hours!

I'll be there on Saturday, but probably watch some of it from home on Sunday.

The FW190 and Matt Hall's CAC Mustang were up together this afternoon for a short time. The sound of Soviet round and a 12 cylinder Packard Merlin together was enough to wake me up from my night shift slumber!

It was great - went on Sunday and the weather was fabulous. Well worth the 2 hour train ride each way from Sydney.

The only thing I missed was not seeing any F-18s flying, and not seeing Connie (not back from being repainted yet).

Highly recommended and looking forward to next year's event already.
