Hi guy's, has anybody ever been to this event, I have never been and the wife and I are thinking off heading down tomorrow but I'm keeping a close eye on the weather site because it look's like it might rain down there????, and it would be useless to go if it rain's all day, and it's fairly costly to get in, so to those that have been, is it worth while??????.

I guess it depends on how much into planes you are

I like the jets and some others but some of it drags out a bit. I have a mate who goes to all 3 days from start to finish, he loves it. Worth going for a looksy if you havent been, considering it's every 2 years.

the past week all weve had is the planes flying low over here, its enough to **** you right off becuase it wakes you when you dont want to be woken.

Are you kidding its awesome, I guess its every guys dream to be a fighter pilot; but seriously Id kill for that "job".

At work today and yesterday (in Geelong) the Jets are flying around, nothing like that sound and the rumble!

Every year I say "yeah ill go next year" but I still haven't done it after two shows (four years); perhaps the next one... :

I wish I could go. But alas, I live in Sydney. I reckon it would be worth going at least once just for the experience and just so you know what goes on there. Its open to the public from Friday arvo til Sunday right?

[rodderz]

Yup I think 10am each day from tomorrow then night sessions as well

Yeah I like the jet's and fighter's and chopper's but that's about it, I spouse I'm just going to wake up early and see what the weather is like.

Went there yesterday as the organiser is one of my clients, ohh the joys of a corporate tent with air conditioning and cold Beer

Bloody amazing airshow, both on the ground and air

[whiskieboy]

Dont worry it NEVER rains in geelong, just like Bendigo. Lots of big boy toys to lookat

I was there 2 years ago, my company had a stall. Air displays were pretty good, but quite a it of it is aimed towards the air industry.

[Fordman1]

Now if they had a JSF F35 Lightning II, or a F22 Raptor I'd go.

But there doesn't look like there's anything extraordinary there so Pffffft......

45 bucks for a ticket and 10 bucks to park the car starts getting a bit steep to see some planes.
It all depends how into it you are.

My mate went wednesday with family friends and got flown in, loved it.

I'd would have loved to go but i'm working all weekend, damn..

[galaxy xr8]

Well we went and I'm glad we did, my 1st experiance at an airshow and I loved it, the fighter jet's were just amazing and the huge airforce planes and their mounvabilty were just great, I will be going to the next one again that's for sure.

[holmsy]

i used to go every time it was on and every day mainly cause i got in for free. if i had to pay i wouldn't have gone most times.

it is well worth it if you haven't been but i wont go for a fair while now i dont think.
i live real close to the show so i get all the planes circling my house untill they go do stuff over the show.
plus i can hear and feel the explosions etc here so yeh. i hear a noise and go yep they r doing this and this now :P

There was an airshow at Richmond airbase (NSW) last year, a great day out.
Well worth wasting time at an airshow, but im a bit of an aircraft geek hehehe
I took some friends, all they did was whinge all the way about how boring its going to be, needless to say watching the fly bys by over your head changed that :
heres some random youtube vid i found from the Richmond air show:
