This Hercules was on static display at the Australian International Airshow. It first flew using the Lockheed flight-test rego N130JR and was delivered to the RAAF in 2000. Currently serving with 37 Squadron. It's still in the early light grey overall camouflage scheme, but with some of the engine cowlings painted in the newer upper-surface dark grey, suggesting they are replacement parts.

The Furio is a new composite-construction kitplane, designed and manufactured in New Zealand. This is the first prototype and it flew across the Tasman Sea to attend the Australian International Airshow (first flight was on 6 February 2008). Quite a stunning looker, really, and not a little like the Falco.

The much-loved Pig made it's last Australian International Airshow appearance in 2009. This was one of three on flying and static display. Wearing 6 Squadron markings, this aircraft was delivered to the RAAF on 1 June 1973. It was the first of four later converted to RF-111C standard - you can see the camera fairing where the bomb-bay used to be.

'Middleton VC' in the dawn light at the Australian International Airshow. This aircraft was noted with the RAAF's Roulettes aerobatic team in 1991, but shortly afterward was allocated to the Forward Air Control Development Unit at RAAF Williamtown. This is the second iteration of the FACDU grey scheme and these aircraft usually get around with tanks on, unlike the trainers. And don't those shark's teeth look good!
