Tyabb Airshow 2010


This past weekend I made the trip down to the Tyabb Airshow near Melbourne. This was probably the main Airshow in Australia for 2010 and it was a huge success. Judy Pay and the members of Peninsula Aeroclub did a fantastic job. The Air Program ran very smoothly, there were no incidents all day, the weather was near perfect and the crowd was huge. Apparently there were traffic issues for those driving to Tyabb but orgnizers will be on top of that in 2012.


I arrived about 1500 local the day prior, enough time for a practice flight. This was a good idea as there are all sorts of obstacles around the Tyabb airfield when operating low level ...


The Allianz team were out in force. We put the Rebel in amongst the Allianz area which worked very well.


The Mudgee Airshow is just around the corner and plans are well underway for an Eastern Creek Raceway event , The World Superlap Championships, on May 22.
