Heartbreaking fra Down Under - Australian Aviation

 

Denne typen er ute av registeret, men allikevel spektakulær med fuel dump og AB. Her på et Avalon Air show. Arkivbilde. Uansett, trist med kanselleringen av 100-års jubileet og dette fantastiske showet. (Red.)

NEWS ALERT: 

Heartbreaking confirmation, AIRSHOW 2021 Officially Cancelled.  

 

A devastating blow in the Air Force Centenary year, dashing the hopes of organisers and fans Australia over with the cancellation of the Avalon Airshow 2021. Despite the valiant efforts of organisers to get the Airshow off the ground, the increasing uncertainty of COVID-19 and the spreading Delta variant has forced the Airshow to be officially cancelled for 2021.  

 The incredibly “difficult decision” had to be made by the AMDA Foundation, the organisers of the beloved air show, to contain the risk for participants and the public.  

 “The official cancellation of Airshow 2021 is a sad blow to the aviation community and those commemorating the Royal Australian Air Force Centenary,” said Stephen Davie, CEO of BrandNet the operator of the Official Air Force Centenary Shop. “While frustrating for those who have worked incredibly hard to organise this spectacular event and its fans, it is an important decision for the safety of everyone involved.” 

 Originally planned for February 2021 and postponed last year, the dates were moved to run from the 30th of November to the 5th of December, with the hope of celebrating all things aviation later in the year.  

 With the Air Force centenary year, Airshow 2021 was set to be one of the largest showings of Australian Defence Force aircraft. A landmark event brought together as a place to celebrate the past 100 years of the Royal Australian Air Force, and to bring together the Australian aviation community which has been so devastated by the global pandemic.
