Wow. Great shots from a nice nest.

I was about 4 kms away with a 400mm lens. Here's a couple of videos. Each day was a different time and weather which meant the two runs were not the same despite the flight paths:
The practice run: https://youtu.be/fuoZEiUIbs8?t=34. Lots of vapour forming around the wings from the midday humidity mixing with the differential air pressure.

Actual event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFriwwP6pyk. Golden hour allowing the heat distortion to be apparent from the jet engines.

Attached are some stills, some are frames from the videos including the Bin Chicken and F-18 in the same shot. Quientessential Brisbane :) And the C-17 shot from the previous event.
