I’d like to see an F-35 in action at the airshow given that is what the RAAF are actually going to be using.
Also hoping Airbus send an A350 demo aircraft.

This is great news, the Raptor display at Avalon 2013 was a very exciting watch indeed!
I will look forward to more SuperBug antics and presume the stalwart Viper will be in attendance too? Lets hope for some Malaysian Flanker action, maybe even a Thai Gripen , a Singaporean 15 display would be awesome too. Fingers crossed.

It will be great to see some F-15Cs from 18th FW come back to Avalon. If not the USAF Eagles, how about Singapore AF F-15SG’s.
