Not to mention the C-27J, the C-17, the ARH Tiger, the CH-47 Chinook...all of which are currently in production, and all have either recently been introduced or soon will be selected for Australian service. Some rumours I've heard for 09 include the RSAF Black Knights aero team (really worth seeing) and a B-2 flyby . Avalon is what it is folks - they don't promise anything they can't deliver. It's a hard task being so far away from all the overseas action, and the exhibition is as good as any airshow in the world Don't forget to drop by and say hello to us at the Australian Aviation stand in the exhibition hall. Cheers Andrew

You can always get oneof the best seats in the house.All you have to do is fill out a volunteer form and you could get plenty see plenty and costs you a bit of time.

Shame on you for starting the rumours early! Quote:
A great airshow? Not knocking it, but there are plenty of shows that beat it. Tyabb, Defence force shows etc etc. PS. I Wouldn't call a Chinook the latest and greatest!! |

I guess Avalon is the biggest AIr show in Australia, it would be nice to have some more international vistors like the MIG aircraft and the B2 and others, but it is our only major one and I think its great.
If i could change anything it would be the ticketing. I like to the the Gold seat ( i can spoil myself once every two years) and enjoy it, i dont want to walk around or spend half the day out of my seat missing photo oppotunities checking out the displays and tents. I think the displays are fantastic and the swag you can pick up from stands make me feel like a big kid. I reckon if you buy a gold pass for one day they should add in a GA ticket for the other day to walk around for a little extra cost instead of buying two tickets.

If you get the gold class ticket for the friday night show, you get access to the displays before the general public, and before any flying display. But apart from that, there isn't really much. Considering that a general entry pass is only $50, I don't see why they can't just add it on for free. Oh well...

QF Avalon Airshow Charter 2009
Does anyone know if Qantas is operating a charter flight down to the airshow this year. If so when do they usually start selling seats??

No QF charter. You have only got Jetstar from SYD/BNE

Qantas will have a 744 on display (and open for public inspection) on 15th March. As always, subject to change!
Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere. |
