G'day All,

I was just wondering whether anyone could offer any opinions about past airshows at Kunsan or if anyone has any inside info about this year's event?

Thanks in advance.

G'day again Guys, I've had some time to prepare a few more photos from the Amberley show. There weren't many foreign types there but the ones that were, were interesting. http://motty.hobbyvista.com/Warbirds/Amberley-08/images/Mottys-C-130-80195-2008_10_04-5933-LR-1-001.jpg http://motty.hobbyvista.c...

G'day Guys, Wow, many thanks for all your kind comments. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. :D I still haven't had much time to prepare many shots from Amberley, but here are a few more I have for your enjoyment. http://motty.hobbyvista.com/temp/Framed-Shots/Amberley-08/images/Mottys-Photo_2008_10_05_...

G'day Guys, I'm not sure whether this is ok here or if it belongs on the airshow board but here are a few highlights from the Defence Force Air Show at Amberley, Australia last weekend. Special markings commemorating 50 years of Herks. http://motty.hobbyvista.com/temp/Framed-Shots/Amberley-08/images...

As if the past four weeks of visiting F-15s hasn't been enough fun for spotters here at Williamtown, this morning we were treated to the arrival of these three visitors. http://users.tpg.com.au/hawk16/Aircraft-Photos/Pigs/Mottys-Photo_2008_09_22_4456-LR-001.jpg http://users.tpg.com.au/hawk16/Aircraf...

Thanks for your kind comments guys. Glad you like the photos. Here are some more from this week for your enjoyment. Michel, I doubt there will be another deployment in October just for the Amberley show. Usually the USAF just sends the display aircraft for the display and that's all. http://users.tp...

Thanks guys, glad you liked the photos. Here are some more of the Oregon jets. http://users.tpg.com.au/hawk16/Aircraft-Photos/Oregon%20Eagles%2008/Mottys-Photo_2008_08_29_9999_585-LR-001.jpg http://users.tpg.com.au/hawk16/Aircraft-Photos/Oregon%20Eagles%2008/Mottys-Photo_2008_08_29_9999_557-LR-001.j...

G'day Guys, I've been so busy lately that I forgot to stop by and say hello. :wave: We've had some very welcome and interesting visitors down here (at Williamtown, Australia) for the past few weeks. For the first couple of weeks we were treated to the sight of these guys; http://users.tpg.com.au/haw...

G'day again Uni,

Do you know if the JASDF will have any special colour schemes this year for the Phantom's 50th anniversary?

Cheers,
Motty.

Thanks for the extra info guys.

Thanks also to you Uni. Do you know when the "Sotai Sogo Kunren" might be held (dates)?

Is it possible to arrange visits onto JASDF bases for foreigners?

Cheers,
Motty.

G'day All,

many thanks for the info so far.

I too am planning a trip to Japan / Korea for October this year. I hope to see more info for shows around this time soon (I am watching the Scramble airshow listing for updates).

Cheers,
Motty.
