Hi Shameel
The official Press Releases usually ask the media outlets to inform the public of the forthcoming flypast, parade or whatever. If the media chooses not to do so then then the general public misses out, not that many would give a toss anyway these days.
If we get to see footage in Perth (which I doubt) I expect to see interviews with some citizens who were unaware of the event and startled by the aircraft and noise - oh no not September 11 again (I'm being very cynical).
Attitudes today are far different to those of 30 years ago when I remember the F15 demonstrator flying over Melbourne and in 1974 or 75, a RAAF F111C belting over Melbourne trying to break some sort of record I think. And who remembers the "Thunderbirds" flypast over Sydney in about 1986 ?
Times sure have changed.
