Barossa Airshow 2013-04-14

Today the Barossa Airshow was held in Barossa Valley, South Australia.  Its the first time that I have been to it, quite enjoyable.  There was a varied spectum of aeroplanes, from gliders to utility to aerobatics to a few old warbirds.  There was even a display of remote controlled aircraft that included a glider and a pretty impressive jet fighter.  

Went with a good friend, Tony, who if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have known about this show.  You can see his pics on his blogsite by clicking  here .
