Australian International AirShow 2003
Canberra wingspar Canberra end loop
Temora Aviation Museum's Canberra bomber, one of the highlights of the show because it is more than 20 years since most people had seen one. Canberra coming out of loop that amazed most who saw it. We're not used to seeing Canberras do loops - but it is done very gently putting little stress on the airframe.

Airbus Beluga Australian Flag
Airbus A300-600ST more commonly called the Beluga. It became a landmark during the show because it could be seen so easily from any point. Australian flag being parachuted into the show from an Airvan aircraft. What a beautiful sight.
