i personally thought it was not that great. to crowded and not long enough.
It was far better the 1st year and the F18 did a by far better display in 2006, 100% over todays display by the F18, no F18 last year and this year it was average, need much better and more acts and displays in the air, the old war planes are so weak,,nead action. was not crowed where i was at east end of strip, 1st year went south perth,people walked aver you,stood in front of those who got there early , some argued and one had his head whacked and into the water he went, dont say get F*** in front of women, lol. jj


## SUNDAY,, at the eastern end of the strip, city side, and if any one wants to avoid the crowd, come join me at the waters edge under a tree, ill have head phones on sitting on a white garden chair,,bit far away,but can see all you need to, jj

Yeah but that wasn't because of the event it was due to the exceptional company you were keeping ;)

I enjoyed myself on both days. Spent Saturday on the city side around Langley Park and Sunday on the South Perth side. Had four friends over from Adelaide who said they had a great time. They commented on how nice Perth is to visit, how hospitable and friendly the people are, and how our fish and chips beat theirs :P

I think you'll find that it was Zeb that brought up the Fish and Chips...probably not physically but you quoted 2 people and deleted the end tag on a quote and what not so really Nafenn was correct :)

it's staying till 2012,
and yes there will be a break for 18months because nobody saw the use of bringing it back in six as the organizers want it to be held earlier in the year

i think that, that will be really good because people will forget about it for a while and then when it comes back it will have a new lease of life.

Sorry to say,your info is slightly incorrect, the reason why it is not until 2010 is that before the State Gov and Tourism mob got to sign the renewal, they had allocated Langly park for other activitys which includes half of it being dug up for other shows from Aug 2009 to Mar 2010, hence the next RBAR will be here in May 2010 half way through the circuit,, that is info provided by the State Tourism dept. (this info was posted Thursday in Warsug). jj
