Avalon Airshow is one of the few opportunities in Australia to see some of the world’s most capable military aircraft operating side by side, and between 2019 and 2023 I was fortunate enough to photograph many of the standout performers. This collection showcases a selection of my favourite images from those events, featuring aircraft such as the F-35A Lightning II, F/A-18F Super Hornet, F-22 Raptor, EA-18G Growler, and other fast jet highlights that captured the attention of aviation enthusiasts throughout the show.
Each photograph reflects a unique moment—whether it’s the raw power of an afterburner take-off, the precision of an aerial display, or a rare static display opportunity that brings these remarkable aircraft up close. These images represent some of the most memorable aviation moments I’ve witnessed through the lens and highlight the incredible technology, skill and heritage behind modern military aviation.
Many of the aircraft featured in this gallery also appear in my Fast Jets of Avalon colouring book series, where selected photographs have been transformed into detailed line-art illustrations. While the books offer a creative way to explore these aircraft, the original photographs remain available here as high-resolution digital downloads for aviation enthusiasts, collectors and anyone looking to bring a piece of Avalon Airshow history to their collection.
