non work: Brisbane getting lit up for River Fire! F1-11 flies past my apartment

I just happen to be home this year for the best day on the river in Brisbane – Riverfire, part of Brisbane’s River Festival. Basically everyone celebrates having a big brown river run through our city with lots of fun stuff.

Riverfire is the business – they blow up ALOT fireworks from ~ 4/5 locations around the city (including the inner city buildings and bridges) and the finale is one of the RAAF’s F1-11’s doing a dump and burn.

Today was rehearsal time a F1-11 flew up the river and right past my apartment – check out the video (link) or below;

I’ll update this post tomorrow with more – but for now check out photos from 2005 and the start of 2008
