Defence Open Days Amberley 2004
RAAF Caribou during its amazing flying display. The pilot 'flung' it around the sky before showing how little runway it needs for a short landing! One of the most capable aircraft ever operated by the RAAF and soon to be retired, the Caribou displays its short take-off ability.
RAN Squirells performed a very interesting flying display showing the ability of this smaller helicopter. RAN Squirells crossing each other as part of their display. Pity our photographer didn't get the back helicopter in focus too.
RAAF F/A-18 in during its display flight. This aircraft will soon celebrate its 20th anniversary in RAAF service. F/A-18 Hornet laying a trail of flares to fool the 'enemy' SAMs. This created a spectacular display during the 'war' games.
The perenniel Australian show favourite, the RAAF's pride and joy, the F111I. This F-111 is proudly wearing the logo for the Ipswich city centenary, Amberley's local council. Australian's never tire of seeing this sight - day or night it takes your breath away. What will we do for show stoppers when the F-111 is retired from service?
Three Roulette PC-9s with WWII North American P-51 Mustang from the RAAF Museum at Point Cook. You don't see this very often! AERO Australia's stand in the Boeing hangar. Uncle Pat's table and chairs, our display shelves and all the AERO cover posters. Mum on duty.
