That'd be roight.
Last "airshow" that I saw was a sole Roullette buzzing around over the
race track at Phillip Island during the 2007 AGP (Motorcycles). We did
have an F18 but it was little more than a couple of laps, a slowdown with
all the crap hanging out and a "Mav's goin' ballistic" move as he left.
Whatever happened to the good old days. Best ever was at the 97 AGP in
Adelaide (F1). TWO F18s on each day, Mirages that were being retired,
Pitts Specials, and a USAF Galaxy flypast that lasted longer than the F18
demos that we get to see these days.
