Hi All,
Haven't been here much lately but thought I would share my take on this years Avalon Airshow. Fortunately the USAF sent a large contingent of aircraft to help fill out the ramp. There were 2 B1-Bs, 1 B-52-H,1 KC-135R,1 KC-10, 3 F-16s, 1 C-130J, 1 C-17 & the 2 F-22s, a nice range of aircraft from various bases. The USN also had a MH-60R on display. Also thanks to the RAF for the E-3, have never seen one before, crew were very friendly & popular with their posters.
Hopefully there is something here to interest someone, thanks for looking
1. CAC Boomerang
2. Spitfire Mk VIII
3. Australian Army Blackhawk
4. C-130H unusual for a RAAF aircraft to have noseart
5. Hornets
6. Hornet
7. Super Hornet
8. MH-60R
9. KC-10
10. B-52H

Thanks for the comments guys appreciate it. The weather was a bit off on the Friday, low cloud freezing cold & windy but the Saturday & Sunday were perfect with clear skies all weekend. Much better when I was there in 2009, that was atrocious weather to try & shoot in. As requested have included a couple of shots of the E-3.

WOW! Those pictures are something else! Especially the Hornets and the B-1B - lets all pray the Bone makes it's way over the Atlantic a weekend in July...
As stated earlier, great pictures

Composition of B52 catches my eye - nice job
Re: Avalon Airshow (pic heavy)
Good to see the US supporting the show so well. I bet the B-1 shook things up a little!
Looks like a mixed bag weather wise though, similar to when I was there (I can't believe it's been 4 years!).
The Boomerang looks ace! Nice shots all round Richard.
