Now this is going to cause an argument at home. The Aussie F-35A Lightning and F-18 Growler have been confirmed to appear at Avalon this year.
I've told the wifey i'd give it a miss this year as we have had 2 holidays over East in the last 2 months , waste of money blah blah she said..
Me wants to go........

And some information here, as well (without the Minister Payne photo):

Also, Trump's opinion of the F35 project (which is not recent news though):

Donald Trump says F-35 cost blow-outs 'out of control' but Christopher Pyne remains committed - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

I rather expect they'll be at each show from now on. As for Trump's comments, the lessons of the F111B simply were not learnt.
