Qld Air Museum Open Cockpit Weekend July 2016

[Slide Effect]

Love this troop its a great event and the crowds are awesome as well....and as for getting pics in the F -111 =

Next year they will have a former RAAF Mirage as well to get photos in.

That RAAF Mirage is the ARDU bird, A3-16 which just so happens to be the exact airframe my father looked after during his time at RAAF ARDU in South Australia (he claims to have pics of me in it!!).

The airframe itself has a lot of history being the only Mirage to survive a belly landing anywhere in the world. Dad was telling me last night that the pilot was flown to France so Dassault could try to figure out how he did it.

I'm really looking forward to it arriving so I can go up there with him and see it.
