Public day Saturday 2023 Australian International Airshow

The 2023 Australian International Airshow today kicked off with the sold out punters arriving from the crack of dawn.
Major traffic congestion on Melbourne's freeways and byways only confirms that the paying public are keen for this awesome event.
Here's but a brief capture from today...

I went on Saturday. Worst Australian International Airshow EVER. 27km of traffic jam meant we arrived during the Black Eagles display, missing the previous 12 displays. 3 hours to travel 80km. Left before the end "to beat the traffic", so missed another 3 displays; missed out on 40% of the displays in total. One hour to get out of the carpark. 3.5 hours to get home. General admission tickets couldn't set up folding chairs between the corporate chalets and the runway this year, so we had to sit BEHIND the chalets - couldn't see the aircraft take-off & land. Hamburger: $20. Bottle of water $5.
Worst of all, no temporary airfield set up between Avalon Airport & Port Phillip Bay for private aircraft, so no 30-minute trip each way from Moorabbin Airport. The replacement option was a 45-minute bus ride from an airfield to the northwest.
That was my last visit to that air show, unless I spring for a gold pass and a helicopter transfer.
