BEYOND THE SPEED OF SOUND!
2007 marks the 60th anniversary of the breaking of the sound barrier. The Australian International Airshow will salute those with the right stuff in a very special way.
It will pay tribute to the breaking of other barriers, scientific, industrial, commercial and social, that aviation has heralded – from the first flight to the part women have played in soaring through the glass ceiling.
Bring on the Military
Great armadas of combat aircraft will crowd the skies.
Again the Royal Australian Air Force will be here with its F-111 strike bombers, FA-18 Hornets, BAE Hawks and a host of support aircraft. The Royal Australian Navy and the Australian Army will also proudly display their potent range of winged warriors.
The United States Air Force has again signalled its participation in the event. 2007 marks the 60th anniversary of the formation of the USAF. Come join in the celebrations!

Where the action never ends!
Be amazed as the world’s most skilful aerobatic pilots strut their daring stuff in a host of high-powered sports aircraft. Watch spellbound as they perform their breathtaking manoeuvres – rolls, twists and turns – to the cheers of the big crowd. Solo acts and group formations will star in a series of highly choreographed routines paying tribute to the barnstormers of old. Individual and formation parachute displays will also be a memorable feature of Airshow 2007.
Warbirds Set to Swoop
The unmistakable roar of the might Rolls Royce Merlin engine.
