The Defence Force Air Show, held in 2009 in Townsville, North Queensland. This show is rotated amongst the Australia bases, however this was the first time it was held off an airfield along The Strand seashore in Townsville. The show was marred by the presence of the remains of a dust storm that had blanketed the Australian east coast over the preceeding days.
