The Illawarra Airshow is on this weekend. Last year we happened to be on a cycling weekend and had coffee at a cafe close to the end of the airfield

Booked a table - hoping to see the planes flying in to the airfield but the wind is in the wrong direction. Perfect framing - the airshow sign and the dead tree

Got a helicopter in frame - not a lot else. We bought coffee and moved - menu was not inspiring

Found a side street coming off the highway with a view of the runway. Parked the car up the hill and set up a viewing platform. Next year we will have chairs and a table and snacks

Smoke helps to show where the stunt plane is

Completing the loop back to the ground - guessing it turned 200 feet off the ground

Find the plane shot - it is yellow

We were not the only ones parked with a view of the runway. We did drive down the side of the airfield. Lots of people parked outside the fence with picnics set up. $64 senior price is only for the real aeroplane afficinados

We repaired to shopping mall in Shellharbour for sushi lunch and a bit of shopping.

Cooked Kashmiri coconut chicken curry for dinner - yum
