Info from an insider:
Quote:
I can confirm QF 767-300, DJ E190, Brindabella J41, Qantaslink Q400 (which will do a joyflight for charity - I think tickets are on sale first come first serve at the open day)
All these aircraft will be open for public walkthrough (some will have cockpit open, not sure which). If last year is anything to go by, expect long queues though!
There will also be about 6-7 smaller GA on static display (Nanchang, Cirrus, Cessna 150, Robinson R44 chopper etc) including the new Canberra resident L39 Albatross jet. Eurocopter will bring down a chopper from Sydney for some joyflights as well.
The RAAF tethered balloon will be on site also doing rides, subject to weather.
A highlight will be a full handling display by a F/A-18 hornet at 1130 sharp. Apparently the display will be similar to what you see at Avalon. It is the final display by the current RAAF display pilot, and following the show, he will land to refuel and (I think) be available to meet the public.
