This airshow doesn't get the notoriety like some of the bigger names but a couple of things put it in the news. First, Boeing announced its new unmanned wingman fighter that was developed for the RAAF. It is something well will see more of in the future.

Then, in today's news a C-17 Globemaster from the USAF ingested a large bird while on the takeoff roll. The takeoff was aborted successfully and some good video of the incident is here.
