Modern military aircraft in both the static and flying displays were from the Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Australian Navy Fleet Air Arm, Australian Army Aviation, Japanese Air Self Defence Force, Republic of Singapore Air Force, Royal Malaysian Air Force, Royal New Zealand Air Force, United States Air Force and United States Navy. As for me, although still a bit dehydrated, I drank plenty of water, wore a hat and slapped on plenty of SPF 50+ sunscreen and survived the two days I attended (Friday and Sunday of the three public days)!

The Australian International Airshow organisers also set up shade, cooling and water stations around the vast static and crowd area but with so many people, there never seems enough of these things. I have been to many scorching shows in the United States where you stand on hot, heat reflecting concrete all day but at least at Avalon Airport you can watch the show whilst standing on grass or dirt. It was windy, dusty and hot, very hot, at Avalon this year! Temperatures pushed upwards of 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) and it was not for the feint hearted – heat stroke was apparently a problem in the crowd on the public days (March 1st to 3rd)!
