800 million dollar view

Yesterday I watched 800 millions dollars worth of metal, in the form of four C-17A Globemasters, fly over the Gold Coast beach. I have to say that for that price tag I would have enjoyed a little more roar and a bit more sparkle ...or at the very least Sergeant Body at the helm.

After the plane extravaganza I went down to the Seaway to admire a bit of flagrant disregard...

And a mighty view of the Gold Coast.
