Frank<p>Anyway, on with the airshow.</p><p>Seahawk chopper from the Navy. Had a farting episode, must have had too much chilli the night before.</p><p><a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeirdCarMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdPlaneMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeirdPlaneMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/Aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Aviation</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/Airshow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Airshow</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/Planes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Planes</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/AvalonAirshow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AvalonAirshow</span></a></p>
Frank<p>Usually there's lot of vintage aircraft, stunt stuff and so on. Not this year. Primarily ADF with some Yanks and their military stuff. And a big push on recruitment. Very weird. Have not seen this at the airshow before.</p><p><a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeirdCarMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdPlaneMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeirdPlaneMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/Aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Aviation</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/Airshow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Airshow</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/Planes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Planes</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/AvalonAirshow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AvalonAirshow</span></a></p>
Frank<p>We always go for the whole weekend, as the airshow is enormous. One day spent wandering around, one day in the stands watching the show. Thankfully they sorta got their shit together on the Sunday. Was very military heavy this time, most unusual. </p><p>This opener where a plane pretended to race a V8 Supercar.

Frank<p>We fly to the show every two years, way easier than the three hour drive, including being trapped in the car park for over an hour. It was even messier this year, with people saying they didn't get home until midnight.</p><p><a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeirdCarMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdPlaneMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeirdPlaneMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/Aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Aviation</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/Airshow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Airshow</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/Planes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Planes</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/AvalonAirshow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AvalonAirshow</span></a></p>
Frank<p>The Saturday show was a disorganised mess, didn't start until 1:45 and then no one seemed to know what was going on. With the Bennett team off the program, they just put up anything from the ADF they could find, it seemed. </p><p>Show was over, time to go home. </p><p><a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeirdCarMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdPlaneMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeirdPlaneMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/Aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Aviation</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/Airshow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Airshow</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/Planes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Planes</span></a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/AvalonAirshow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AvalonAirshow</span></a></p>
