The air show featured the last official flying display for the retiring F-111, and was the first opportunity for the public to see the FA/18 Super Hornet in action. Historic "warbirds" were also featured in both static and flying displays.
The air show coincided with the 25th anniversary of F/A-18 operations, and the 10th anniversary of Hawk 127 operations in the Royal Australian Air Force.
