A day at The Brisbane Airshow (Part 1/3)



Well I'm excited to say this event "finally" took place yesterday, after being cancelled last year due to covid.
It was originally scheduled for the 3rd / 4th July 2021 then cancelled and rescheduled for the 16th / 17 October 2021. It was then cancelled again and rescheduled for the 2nd & 3rd July 2022 but due to torrential rain it was postponed once again until the 9th /10th July.  So yesterday a mate of mine picked me and my co-pilot up and we headed out.

Set in the Brisbane Valley, The Brisbane Airshow has one of the worlds most stunning backdrops.
Held at the Watts Bridge Memorial Airfield (ICAO: YWSG), it is without a doubt the premier recreational airfield in South East Queensland, located 5nm from the small country township of Toogoolawah, 1 hour 10 min drive from the state’s capital Brisbane and 1 hour 30 from my home. The airfield features three well-formed grass runways, the maim one being 900 metres (2,950 feet), 820 metres (2,690 feet) and 815 metres (2,673 feet) which are suited to virtually all types of aircraft used for sport and recreational flying.

The air show included an aerial display of Military, Warbirds, World War II Fighters, Jets, Helicopters, Aerobatics and Skydiving. It also had a display of Military Vehicles, Hot Rods, Classic Cars, an Aviation Expo, along with Live Music, Gourmet Food an Amusement Park and lots more.

Due to the number of photos taken I will post this over three posts.
