A unique feature of the Australian International Airshow is the comprehensive variety of aircraft on display.
They cover a broad range of military and civil aircraft – from combat, UAV, heavy lift, helicopters, maritime patrol and tactical transport to airline, business, rotary wing, training, airsport and recreational aircraft.
457 aircraft were displayed at the 2007 show.
The exhibition pavilion is supplemented by a range of external exhibition facilities, including free-standing display structures and outdoor exhibition space.
Flying displays are featured each afternoon during the four trade days, culminating in Friday's unique Night Alight Finale. On the weekend, a world-renowned air spectacular is the hallmark of the public days.
Further information on participating exhibitors, static aircraft and displays will be available in early 2009.
