I never did get the chance to do an air display in Australia or New Zealand and it is something I regret.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. First time out with my Sigma 150-500.

@Midlife... How do mean 'a little flat'? Curious, is all.

@RiffRaff The Roulettes ain't too shabby ;-) and it was a Victa Air Tourer, according to the programme

Nice Pics, Mate.

We get the FA18 over this side, from RAAF Amberley.
Get to see them flying occasionally, when I'm out that way.
Used to be the F-111 until a few years ago.

The important thing about a call sign it that it is clear, concise, and not easily confused.
