Gee, I never thought about how far the noise would carry, I wouldn't have thought it would go that far, but they are some bloody noisy beasts in the air at the moment. I would be better if I wasn't working at the Airshow this morning...:p

Wasn't supposed to be here until Monday....

Not that far, about 15km SE of Avalon straight across Corio Bay. Front row seat really. A lot of the planes do their turns over the bay right on top of us.

Righto anyone attending.. we expect LOTS of pics and videos ! Good ones.

I hear there may be an F-22 there as a static display. I would have thought this unlikely but time will tell.

Couldn't tell what type it was, but something low and fast almost directly over our place a few times this morning practicing his display.
We're in Lara - about 5km in a direct line from Avalon.

Kaa45 - you'll see the other end of it from your place as it then climbs vertical over Avalon with smoke before rolling off at the top :D

Yep, was watching it. Yesterday was a better display, although a bit cloudy so he kept disappearing. :eek:
