The Australian International Airshow Avalon Airport Victoria

Every two years, Airshows Downunder organise the Avalon International Airshow, Australia's answer to Oshkosh, but not as big.

There were 2 towers for the 2 adjacent airfields and a remote tower acting as a feeder for the main field. I spent all my time in the main tower servicing Avalon Airport mainly because that was what was appropriate to my current endorsements. It was a lot of fun, working 9 days straight and living in mobile homes onsite. Everyone there was there because they wanted to be and as such, the cameraderie was fantastic. Hopefully, the Global Financial Crisis wont stop the next one in 2011.

Here are a few photos from the event.

	More of the B1. It was an amazing aircraft.
