Yes the organisers are expecting huge traffic jams on the weekend,as the Classic Car Show is happening at Gingin on the same weekend(uses the same road system),police and volunteers will be on the Great Northern Hwy and also on the "backroad"(I think it's called Neaves Rd). I was told they are expecting the traffic to be banked back to Midland.

they were showing off, (and i mean showing off), up and down the coast yesterday.
Flippin awesome. Loop to loops, corkscrews, heaps of smoke p!ss!n from the back to make patterns and wing to wing formation flying..
This one out front did a corkscrew with smoke p!ss!n out behind it to make a funnel that all the other planes flew through..

just wondering if anyone went - thinking about going up tomorrow (after a quicky surf ).

How was the traffic / parking / queues for food & toilets etc - as I heard they were expecting 40,000 to attend.

Thanks

i am going tommorrow , had a bunch of mates go today . they said get there before 10:30am and you'll be fine . one mate rocked up at 11 and had a 2 hour wait to park .

Apart from that they said it was awesome although they are not plane nuts like me so i'll make my judgement tommorrow

b52 did a flypast at 2:30pm

lia ?

I got there around 9am today. Was easy getting a park then, no line or anything.

The show was awesome. The superhornet was a noisy mofo. I think it was the loudest one, unless it just made me deaf so all the other ones seemed quieter. I'd definitely recommend taking some ear plugs, was going to but forgot.

Leaving was a bit of a bitch...Because i got there so early the carpark seemed 'small' it had grown heaps by the arvo, took ages to find the bloody thing.

It's lucky they didnt have a sign up stand there (at least that I could find) because after seeing the show...pretty tempting. haha.

Frigge'n awesome.
Got there at 9am, no traffic and plenty of parking. The sun had some bite to it so best to take the sunscreen and hat, the lines for food were long (half hour wait) so best to take snacks and drink. Well worth the effort if you've never been before, we got back to the car at 2:30 to watch the B52 and another Hornet from the car park and got out in 15 minutes.

Took an hour and half to get out of car park but a few mates took nearly 4 hours.
Great day, especially the two blokes punching on in the car park after

haha which carpark . I was in carpark 1 i think it was coming from neaves road .

Took me longer in the line to get in through the ****house ticket stall than it did to get out of the carpark .

6 booths for that amount of people was pretty **** . Apart from that the show was good . B-52 was really awesome . Amazing to see a machine like that up close . A very special treat for airshows in australia .

took me about 1 1/2 hours to get out of the carpark and that was purely as traffic management was ****house but i had plenty of water and food and music to keep me occupied so it didn't bother me too much . Only concern was needing a piss after an hour and realising there were no empty bottles in the car until i managed to commandeer an empty bottle off some guy walking to his car :)
