yeah theres a vintage fly in at cessnock so could have been that

The last time that I EVER saw an F-111 fly, I shed a few tears as the deep powerful, thunderous afterburner resonated through my chest one last time. God speed, no machine will ever be made as good.



TS

Cheers for that Stormymick, I had searched high and low for a show of sorts as i thought it was out of the ordinary,. Especially when i seen them again today with another Tiger thrown into the mix, with a Helicopter and Cessna Tag along (i assume shooting promo's or something)
My dad rang to say they passed over his house and i managed to grab a little vid as they passed over :o) talk about gorgeous birds! TS i think they'll be putting some F-111's through a final run for WIlliamtown Raaf nextweekend at there show. Cannot wait, will take a tissue for back up thats for sure! When my nets running better ill upload the pics and vid.

Just wondering if any other lucky people out there got to visit the Williamtown Airshow yesterday and or today? It was a brilliant show for those that didnt go, I remember going to a few shows there when i was very young, and only been to very few since,.. and all i can say is WoW ive found a new hobby for when the skies are void of clouds..Sorting a few photos tonight and will post a couple of the better ones and link to the rest.

Hi Corepuncher....

I was there yesterday, and it was fantastic! Yesterday definately was the better day to go to get the best shots, given the glare today.

I took 1000+ shots...

I can't recall ever having had so much fun!!

Hi Corepuncher & Lizzie.

I was there today and it was truly amazing event, and would have to agree with you there Lizzie, yesterday would have made for some great photography, today was hard grey planes against a grey sky.

I will post some shots soon.

Just a few of the many photos taken yesterday,
Of the quiet variety..

And a few of the noisy boy toys :o)
Sorry about how small the photos are, after a looong day between the airshow and son being in hospital im pooped and forgot to change the image upload size and it was stuck on tiny.
Will be posting most my photos on fb over the coming days so i'll update here as i go.
might even pop a vid or 3 up aswell...

And a link to some of the groundshow.

FB link to photos

awesome shots on here from the RAAF Show...

And the Saturday was the best day for shooting down there..However i look like a Raccoon with my sunglasses burn.. ...

I shot 700+ on the day..and the show itself was enough to reduce one Grown woman to a jumping and clapping big Kid..

ill get onto my sort and post some soon..

at least i get on last hit at the PIG's...December three when the fair well flyovers are being done in SEQ...

Ok I get the hint.
Well i got onto my sort
Soon
Nice shots Corepuncher

...problem being what, Shayne???

They are still performing their daytime routine for the gold coast motor racing event - so there will be a final opportunity to view them before their retirement farewell/flypast.

A few offerings from 'The Festival of Flight' Airshow at Watts Bridge, Toogoolawah a few weekends ago.






Cheers,

The buggers all lied up there then yesterday claiming it to be the very last ever public flyby for the f111's...looks like a trip to qld it is then :o)

Love them pics Julian, Its amazing how much better the planes look with a little colour behind then, I at one stage opted to just to all black and white images due to the grey out! Might have a play with a few of my better ones and bring the colours back if thats at all possible? And Eddy 3 photo!! love it, Once i sort through the remainder of my 1700 flyby shots and the 50 or so vid clips i'll throw them up on facebook,. I think i almost wore the new 100d out yesterday only had it a week and clocked 2k images so far,. i good storm and ill double that easy.,

Can anyone direct me to a free and easy to use prog to slap images together for a GIF-timelapse, i want to see what all my automatic fire photos look like together. by them selves look too plain and repetative but when flicking though them quickly they make a good animation.

Mid air crash at german show yesterday...
Thankfully the above didnt occur at Williamtown,.the skill of those pilots is just mind blowing to say the least, surprised there arent many more crashes!

Couldn't resist myself in posting another,.

The F111 final touch and go dump and burn, sad sad moment.

thats gold CP...yeah some tall boofhead got in the way..im only 5'7 myself..so most are taller then i am..ill post few of mine after..

Hey Corepuncher were you on the southern side of the runway?
Nice shot by the way.
Here's a few more.
