 Line up of warbirds Point Cook was treated once again to the bi-annual airshow put on by the RAAF Point Cook. An event that was advertised with a relatively small admission fee, ended up being free :DWith the weather forcast making some think twice about attending, the numbers were probably smaller than they would've otherwise been if the forcast was for sunny weather. In the end, it was mostly sunny anyway, so much so, that any spot you neglected with sunscreen got suitably burned. There was the usual array of warbirds as well as some current RAAF hardware on display. The airfield coming to life again was wonderful sight. For more photos from the event CLICK HERE. |
