a b2 is going there? is it going to be flying?

i thought there was only 22 b2s in the world. i didnt think the USAF would allow one to take part in an airshow.

I sow a B-2 at an airshow, it was at McGuire AFB (as far as I remember).

21 total, 20 left :(

Post by: Plawranc on March 03, 2011, 05:26:36 AM: Its at Avalon, just outside Melbourne. Tickets are the same as a rock show, 70$ or so a ticket. But with all the hardware available. Its worth it.

Post by: Maverick on March 06, 2011, 11:01:06 AM: I have been listening to the sweet sounds of Merlins and Allisons overhead the last week. Right now DM AFB is doing the annual certification for formation flights (heritage flights) for WW2 warbirds and current AF planes. So far there have been several 'stangs, one P40, a P38 flying with A10's, F22'2, F15's, F16's. Here in the RV camp on base they fly right overhead as they make a pass over what would be the crowd location.

it's pretty much the only serious airshow in Australia
Of course they are going to perk it when about 300,000 people show up over the 3 days

Did not know that. In that case I would defiantly pay the $70.
