Star Wars Canyon
My first trip there and quite fun. Patience is a virtue.

Just WOW !!

what was sound like from those guy's in a canyon?

Thanks zim.
The F-18's could be heard making power settings behind the mountains but echoed to a point where you couldn't tell where they where- just west somewhere. Once they cleared the gap between the mountains, you had about 3 seconds to be on target. In the canyon it was a constant echoing roar. They skies were very busy and only a small percentage come down low for the canyon run. It will keep you on your toes.

Great shot of Connie starting up Glasslugger! It was a pity the FW-190 didn't make it to that show.

Hi Roo
did you go ?
The FW190 was flying on practise day on Friday. Unfortunately I did not go due to work commitments so no shots of this bird.
Had problems on Saturday morning & did not fly for the show.

Very nice pictures, Glasslugger. I especially like the first one.

I don't do airshows, myself but that first one is great, glasslugger.

Thanks Click & Mikehit. Certainly a spectacular way to start an airshow with some smoke & fire.

A couple more from Wings Over Illawarra
