FTX AU AVALON The most regular airshow for the fast Jets , the Bombers , all sorts of amazing military hardware in the Oceania region or our favourite type


.
this intersection , smile.gif .. im home

The last time I left the show , almost a AU$5000 fine , don't recon to early

Its still a military base with a commercial connection .

JETSTAR to QANTAS to REX and the lesser

One show , hummm it was like being in Iraq , a dust storm of equal ! REAL!

another show so cold ... but BANG ! many fires , being so dry ... many could have huddled those fires .



The F16 .. so old but so new .. 16/17/18 .. F20 what happened to the 19 ninja.gif

C17s ripping around like they were tiger moths .. so light or it seemed , an aluminium cloud

For all incoming to next months show .... your in for a TREAT!

The screens look really neat. Nicely laid out and great contrasts. New connie from just flight is still in the works, and heading for completion I hope. The new 1649 available from CalClassic is pretty good also. They have a new vc cockpit with the 5 window windscreen.

I installed it last night and it works well. The vc is pretty neat with the 5 windows , was going to load an image of the vc panel but can't seem to get it to work. Oh well, old man, yhou will have to try it yourself. In case you are wondering, the avatar is of the shoot down of one of our planes from VQ-1 by the north koreans. plane.gif

smile.gif EC-121M rego No.135749 from the Naval Air Station in Atsugi Japan , shot down 14 April 1969 . I don,t think Just Flight are going to look at this model which is a great pity for you , least we'll be able to get a Lockheed Constellation painted up in the transport configuration of VXE6 .

Were you thinking of doing one? Maybe another Pegasus? NOT that I am begging or anything!
