Did they have the RAAF airial displays last year, hopefully something a little bit more exciting than a PC-9.

Won't be flying unfortunatley at this one - But here is the list on whats on - from perthnow.com.au

The Red Bull Air Race, a free family event, will take place over two days with qualifying rounds on Saturday 3 November and the final on Sunday 4 November.

Last year more than 300,000 spectators turned out to watch the Red Bull Air Race final in Perth – the biggest attendance at a single sports event in Australia – and this year even larger crowds are expected to flock to the Swan River to witness this amazing race over the two days.

Eight giant video screens will be stationed at various locations on the South Perth and Perth
foreshores, with commentary throughout the race, and for the first time spectators can tune into
106.5 FM to listen to the official commentary on radio.

Any frequecies yet?

I called the local organisers and they made out as if it's a state secret!

Called CASA, they didn't know. ACMA won't say as the Red Bull people asked them to keep it secret.

Just who do these **** people think they are????

Scanner picked up traffic today on 127.9 and 120.85, as numloxxx has also recently posted on the aviation band topic.

Cheers.
