ADF Airshow 2010 - Williamtown

[patrick woodward]

Good eve,

So are scanners a no go for the Williamtown airshow? The quote is •"No radio transmitters/devices will be allowed into the event"... devices being scanners? If anyone can confirm this that would be great..

Cheers

Looks Like it's going to be a good airshow if the Program from the show website is anything to go by:

You just beat me to it Sean

Does look like a pretty good program with some nice formations planned, especially the 3 x F-111

Mind you, i think there's a bit of duplication in that list, not that i will mind if the F-111 goes up 8 times!

Program has just been updated and now makes a bit more sense
