Airshows Downunder Shellharbour dates for their 2026 edition have been confirmed.
The dates are Friday 13th of March to Sunday the 15th of March.
It is likely the Friday will be a schools & careers open day while the weekend will be the main air show days, as has been the case in recent years.
Held every 2 years, Airshows Downunder Shellharbour features a flying program, mostly of historic aircraft, both civilian & military, whilst modern Royal Australian Air Force aircraft also conduct handling displays. To top it off, Australia’s best aerobatics pilots showcase their skills in jaw-dropping displays full of stunt manoeuvres. There may also be a German World War 2 air raid sometime throughout the day.
Outside of the flying program, there are carnival rides, classic vehicles, markets, civilian & military exhibitors, helicopter joy flights, a drone racing tournament & static aircraft displays.
Located at Shellharbour Airport, home to the Historic Aircraft Restoration Society Museum, this flagship Sydney Spectacular, the only one actually fully not in Sydney, showcases a neat summary of the world’s aviation history in a single day, all within half an hour’s distance of locations of significant events in aviation history by Lawrence Hargrave & Sir Charles Kingsford Smith.
