This edition was the first to be held in November, on the 27th & 28th of November. Whilst the main reason for the date shift was the COVID-19 pandemic, it also allowed spectators flying in a safer trip home with the setting sun of May no longer being a problem.
The 2021 edition also offered the NSW Drone & Oz Flight Sim Expo and for those flying in as a spectator, underwing camping. It was also the last edition with a classic motorbike exhibition.
The below flying program shows what was scheduled before the event began. When the event began, weather, mechanical issues with the aircraft or military requirements may have amended the program in its final displayed form at the Airport.
