Just got back from the first day of the Melbourne Air & Space Show. I was on the south side of the airport (didn't go into the actual show), so some things were missed. I didn't want to miss the B-2, and it did 3 passes. That was the highlight for me, certainly. Here are a couple pics from today:

A few more pics, including the B-17 Memphis Belle & the Thunderbirds...
I forgot to add that it seem to be a pretty light show this year. I know they moved dates earlier due to the Thunderbirds schedule change.
