Overview
The 2017 show held between 28 February and 5 March certainly lived up to its 'Air Power In Action' theme! No fewer than five new RAAF aircraft made their debuts, to make this one of the most memorable in the show’s history. The RAAF's only two (thus far) Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II fighters flew in specially from their training duties in the USA to perform, and returned immediately after the show. They were joined by the first Boeing EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft. To have two brand new combat jets appear simultaneously in the skies over Avalon was a very special treat!
