Hope you get to see it JD, if I were younger & still single i would have drove down but too many responsibilities these days.
If you get a chance to post some pics that would be awesome... (assuming it goes ahead & you have a camera)

It appears it's been cancelled anyway.AirforceHQ wrote: 2 hrs Air Force HQ @AirForceHQ
There's been a technical fault with our C130J for this evening's flaredrop at St Kilda and it has had to return to Richmond #Avalon13
2 hrs Air Force HQ @AirForceHQ
Crews are now assessing whether we can do a vanilla flypast - nil flares - with a spare. Stay tuned for updates. #Avalon13

UPDATE: Unfortunately, we can not get a replacement C130J to St Kilda before last light, in lieu of our Flaredrop aircraft. #Avalon13
