    any of you guys seen a galaxy or super constilation take off. now that is a spectacle.... makes a380s look tiny ahah

    i find it funny when australia bought the fa-18s off the yanks they were sold with no software to run them at all.. and there was a massive arguement between aus government and there supplier. Americans claimed it was a matter of national security to not divuldge their software etc etc lets just say rumours in the aviation community are ASIO 'stepped in' Click here to enlarge

    it was odd really, they looked quite messy coming towards us but as the photos show, they were in quite a tight formation.

    the sound was only okay because they were flying at close to landing speed. They had quite a bit of positive pitch (nose up) to counter the slow speed.

    I regret not going to Riverfire in Brisbane this year where one did a fly-by at close to mach 1. now THAT would have been awesome!

    I went out to Wellington Point to watch them fly over. Not something you see everyday I must say, but I guess I wasn't awestruck.

    Then again I rarely am.

    I was at Highgate Hill and they flew directly overhead - my stupid camera died before I could take a video though Click here to enlarge was pretty amazing, but nowhere near as cool as the F-111 at river fire.

    As someone who is endorsed on: C172, C182, C206, C210, and an 8KCAB, its extremely depressing to watch these guys go 'slowly' past haha

    Haha Cessna's are so boring - I want to fly an RV7 or a Waco. Good luck man, I tried for about 6 months to try and find a job on a Caravan but couldn't find anything that didn't mean moving interstate. BAck at uni doing finance now for a change of scenery
