Notable entries are the F-22, returning for its third year and an excellent selection of WWI replicas, particularly from TVAL (The Vintage Aviator Limited).

Looks like a good lineup. Poor RNZAF - I guess that 757 is the pride of their fleet?

And yet it's one of the most entertaining displays, they give it buggery. They fling it around like it's a small plane. It's one of the flights I enjoy seeing the most every year.

Very disappointing if it is but doesn't surprise me.
What shits me is from what I have heard they have been displaying them at Airshows in the US for quite a while now. :(

Haha, excellent. Maybe ex-Skyhawk pilots having a bit of fun.

Hell no! Open slather. Knock yerself out. Most pro shooters there use either a 100-400 or 500mm f/4. Nikon shooters like the 200-400 as well. I expect the new Canon equivalent will be popular.

The biggest limitation is how far you're prepared to lug it all.

I wouldn't be bothered taking the 500. The 100-400 + 1.4x might be easier to work with though. Are you going?

Not very likely, unless I am sent there next weekend.

I'd love to see those old TVAL replicas though.

It's also a remote possibility that they might be there because of something I said at the last show.

I tried to see if my mum could get me a ticket... Apparently they don't even give them out to people in the industry for the trade days anymore. Lame.

Just a few suggestions if you're going to try it:

For helicopters, use the slowest speed you can. 1/60th is barely slow enough.
For props, 1/160 - 1/250 will be fine.
For jets, go as high as you like. 1/2000th is good.

Yeah, I've shot aircraft before. Had press passes for Tyabb a couple of times.
