More than 33,000 people flocked to Point Cook at the weekend for the Centenary of Military Aviation Air Show.
Spectators at Royal Australian Air Force Williams were treated to flying and static displays featuring aircraft that have contributed to Australia’s rich military aviation history.
A six-hour flying display provided a spectacular history lesson with dozens of aircraft spanning the past 100 years, from a replica of the original Bristol Boxkite through to aircraft from World War II and the Korea and Vietnam conflicts … then it was on to the 21st century hardware.
The crowd was also wowed by aerobatic displays from the RAAF Roulettes and the Royal Australian Navy’s helicopter display team.
On the ground there were opportunities to look inside a host of aircraft, including the gigantic C-17 Globemaster transport.
RAAF head of special events Air Commodore Phil Byrne thanked the community for its support.
“I’m extremely pleased with the air show and its success was only possible with the support we received from organisations such as Victoria Police, Public Transport Victoria, VicRail and Wyndham council.”
