Air BP Air Show - Lotterywest Australia Day Skyworks
16th Jan 2009
AIR BP AIR SHOW
AUSTRALIA DAY LOTTERYWEST SKYWORKS
Look to the skies this Australia Day as the City of Perth will present the AIR BP Air Show - which will include the largest fleet of vintage aeroplanes ever to fly over Perth.
In addition, Air BP Air Show organizers are pleased to announce that the 2008 Australian Unlimited Aerobatic Champion, Richard Wiltshire, will once again grace the skies with a thrilling demonstration of high-speed aeronautics.
Richard is currently Australia's most successful competition aerobatic pilot. He has been competing in aerobatic competition for ten years and has taken out the title of Australian Unlimited Champion three times.
As always, the Air BP Air Show will pay tribute to some of Australia's greatest heroes, with demonstrations from organisations including the Police Air Wing, the RAAF, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority's search and rescue team and the tireless work done by Fire and Emergency Service Authority's fire-fighting helicopter crew.
This year's AIR BP Air Show will start earlier at 3.00pm to take into account the partial solar eclipse. For more information regarding the solar eclipse please visit the Scitech website.
Interview opportunities available with AIR BP Air Display Liaison, Werner Buhlmann.
