Fat Albert is coming too? bah. I'm really wishing I'd booked the flights now.

It's currently pretty smoky and dusty up here, so hopefully it clears by tomorrow or there won't be a whole lot to see.

Guys can you tell us if the Transports ie KC-10`S and C-17 are staying or have they departed?

Seth Jaworski · #55 25th September 2009, 02:24 PM

You won't have to worry about heat haze- the show is all in the air over the Strand. The C-17's and KC-10 were there this morning when I arrived.

What a b%^#$r for all the thousands of local and interstate spectators who were looking forward to a wonderful show. Gee, I hope the weather clears up and you have a great day.

Reminds me of the Amberley Air Show back in 96, I think, which was rained out to the acute disappointment of many enthusiasts who had travelled from W A and S A for the event.

Queensland - beautiful one day, ????????? the next !!!

Settle down Bob. Not Queenslands fault.

The show by the Thunderbirds was nothing short of amazing. Brilliant comes to mind. The dust was a bit of a bummer, but at the close range they were at, it didn't make much of a difference.

Look out for the photos soon.
