A new look night show spectacular featuring a high energy laser show and flare drop is set dazzle audiences ahead of Avalon’s 2011 Australian International Airshow.
Popularly known as ‘Friday Night Alight’, the airshow’s signature event will also feature expected acrobatic performances by military jets and, gliders, and the use of pyrotechnics to cap off the RAAF’s 90th anniversary celebrations.
