Antique Airways (Wallaby Air Tours) had their Beech 18 there and were running a few joy flights. I can definitely recommend a flight - lots of fun. There was also a Beech 18 in original "tail-dragger" configuration.
The City of Albury put the money up for the Ansett DC-3 to fly in and give a great demo of its low-level handling skills. It looked great in the air - wish I could have caught it with my camera.
This is an incredible aircraft to watch as it takes off - the nose comes up and just keeps coming up. A very steep climb out is required so the aircraft doesn't go too fast before the landing gear can be raised.
There was a good collection of training aircraft at the show, including the Harvards used by the Southern Knights formation aerobatics team. I had a few goes during the day at capturing their Harvards parked in front of the tower.

One of the few Meteors still flying in the world - the sound this aircraft made as it flew past during its demo was almost like a hybrid between a jet and a piston engine. Very unique.
Dick Hourigan and Judy Pay own this P-51 Mustang (here's the story of the aircraft's paint job . Steve Death and Guy Bourke were the pilots during the show. The last few photos were taken on the Monday after the airshow when Guy & Judy were preparing the aircraft for its return to Tyabb.
The Roulettes put on a good show in clear skies although, by the time it was their turn, the air was getting a little bumpy.
Col Pay flew Temora's Spitfire in for the show.
Darren DeRoia and the crew were there running joy-flights in their ex-RNZAF Strikemaster.
Two T-28 Trojan trainer aircraft were present, including Steve Death's aircraft painted in Royal Laotian Air Force colours..
The Vampire actually managed to melt the tarmac when it was started near the static display area.
There was a good collection of classic and/or warbird aircraft flow in by people who came to watch the airshow.
Many other aircraft were based at Albury, visiting or part of the show.
About 50 visiting aircraft were expected (not including those taking part in the show). About 120 turned up! Fortunately there was space available to put them.
I had my son Nykolai with me so I managed to get a couple of photo's of us with some aircraft.
A shot of the Albury dam (not much water in there) and the breakfast BBQ that was put on at the flying club on the morning of the airshow.
