I do not understand why the list of participating aircraft shrinks each year. However I notice this year, doubt as a result of complaints, there is an excuse page for the first time.

This year is the lowest on record, but the price of admission never drops. The list of static aircraft, youre better off going to Moorabbin.

Strange there is no Super Hornet flying in those programs. I was hoping the F-35 would be doing a solo display but can only see a flyover, maybe they are not display ready. Also B-52 only flying over on Friday. I was hoping both B-52’s would be at Avalon, with one flying on all days. But still looking forward to the show, and looks like it’s going to be very hot with 41 forecast for Saturday.
