Remarks: With Mike Wazowski looking on from behind the USAF Pacific Demonstration team F16CJ blasts away from rwy 18 at Avalon in full burner on a grey cold Melbourne day.
Remarks: Last dump and burn at Avalon as the F-111 failed to launch on the Sunday of the last ever Avalon airshow for the RAAF F-111..sad to say goodbye!
Remarks: Close-cropped rear Port side view of USAF B-1B 86-0121, taken at the Avalon International Airshow late on Saturday 14Mar2009. The 'B-One', Named 'Symphony of Destruction', is starting her take-off from rain soaked Rwy 18 in hazy overcast conditions. The after-burners of the four General Electric F-101-GE-102 engines stand out and generate plenty of Jet Efflux. This aircraft (Code EL), is from Elmendorf AFB in Alaska USA (A long way from home.)
