The week leading up to Avalon’s International Airshow are filled with lots of interesting military arrivals in preparation for the show. This year, visitors are extremely lucky with not only the ever building collection of military aircraft around the airport, but also the terrific static display of the Antonov AN-124!
The 3 F-22 raptors were an incredible sight, landing only 30 seconds apart from each other. Followed close behind by the elusive KC-135 on a very windy Saturday afternoon! Having the Raptors down here is an absolute pleasure, with only 12 based out of Tyndall, it’s fantastic to see a quarter of the fleet!
I was fortunate enough to catch these arrivals with Aeroplaneman747 and would highly recommend keeping an eye out for his take on the action!

Excellent video!
I live in Geelong close to bay, an are experiencing the odd show, and house rattling sonic booms.
Should be a great few days!
Awesome footage! Excellent camera work – those small fighter jets can be difficult to follow.
Wow, fantastic footage mate!! Liked 🙂
What a BEAUTIFUL video, Matt! Wowww…really enjoyed it. Liked! 🙂
Amazing to see those beautiful Alaskan Raptors! I like!
They are probably using Alaskan Raptors because it's more close to Australia, I guess?
Last year I filmed the Raptor at RIAT, Fairford. So for that show they used Raptors from the East Coast of the U.S.
If I remember correctly, they were from Langley AFB, Virginia.
Awesome to see the huge Antonov in your video! Wow. What a beauty.
Are you also going to the Avalon Airshow. If so, can't wait to see the videos!
Awesome Airshow I definitely wanna visit one day 😉

Excellent captures from this Airshow.
One of your top ten videos. Wha a great opportunity to film all of this military aircrafts.
Wow! … Now this is stunning! Looked like a fantastic airshow!
They're not from "tindil" they're from AK which is Alaska. And it's TYNDALL
amazing Video, big like 😉
In all my years of spotting I still haven't been down to Avalon 🙁 Great footage of course!
Great video as always mate! Those Air shows offer the opportunity to make some rare catches! Well done! Liked! 🙂
Fantastic video mate! Huge like! 🙂
You, my friend, are doing something very right. Starting off with composition – using a combination of the ramp & road side action worked very well together. The colour grading looked very nice – soft and easy on the eyes. The use of contrast on the USAF aircraft gave them a very appealing flat, matte texture. The camera management was well executed for all scenes and the audio was great to listen to. There was, however, breaking in some areas of the audio for the raptors which held the video back from. You may want to change a few settings on your audio system to contradict that.
Our rating – 9/10
Absolutely excellent work mate! Your footage came out really nicely!!! It sure was a great day and thanks heaps for the shoutout 😀
Wow absolutely incredible mate! This is by far the best video I've seen and what spectacular spotting at Avalon. I'm 100000% going to the Avalon air show this Sunday and can't wait to see these planes! Beautiful video and what amazing planes to see! Cheers 🙂
This is absolutely amazing mate! Big like from me! You were so lucky to be able to experience this pre Avalon Air Show action! It was fantastic seeing the F-22s and the KC135s!
Great Video-graphy…Loved it.

Nice seeing those f-22's
Liked a lot, especially the KC-135R close-up!

Lovely mate some awesome spotting there and the variety was certainly great. Liked the Jetstar A320 stood out like a sore thumb from the rest ;). Going to be lots of movement around this week. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Keep it up mate! Liked!
