Red Dragon wrote:Well a few years back the RAF did a role demo which in fairness was good but only lasted 20 or so minutes, this one at Avalon seems to be between 60 - 90 minutes in various segments. To me it looks awesome, but I'll finally get to see the Wedgetail in the sky and to see the RAAF Legecy hornet finally doing its thing.
A question for Norman or anyone who can answer, will the aircraft that are displaying in the role demo be operating from avalon (taking off and landing) or flying in from their respective bases every day doing the demo and then RTB?
Norman wrote:Re Aircraft flying and static locations
The KC30 and Wedgetail may be in the static park But those flying could well operate from their respective bases and use the process as a training excercise, they are usually parked in the Heavies area where photos are easily obtained , having said that they can easily be taxied out to display, we will have to wait and see
The Singaporean F-16's are all likely to be in the fighter park and again easily accessed for pics so i shouldnt worry about getting near them
Hope this helps
Cheers

I can't wait to photograph the display in full daylight (not twilight like tonight) tomorrow. If the F/A-18C pilot is reading this, thento him!

The RAAF Hornet at the Singapore Airshow was excellent, even without the flares. I can only imagine what that was like...
