Australian International Airshow

Experience the grunt of military heavy metal in the high-flying action at Avalon Airport.

Feel the skies tremble as the latest in military might is thrust onto centre stage. A vast array of potent attack aircraft will crowd the skies at Airshow 2009. Rotary winged warriors - the attack helicopters - bristling with an assorted armoury of rockets and missiles will be there too.

Watch the world's most powerful jet aircraft perform rapid rolls, reversals and gravity-defying manoeuvres. See aerobatic aircraft execute impossible twists and tumbles through the skies. Be delighted by barnstormers as they compete to be the stars of the show.

It's also your chance to get close up and personal with the latest in defence technology. Prepare for a totally sensory experience as these hi-tech leviathans strut their powerful stuff to the roar of their mighty jet engines.

The Aerospace and Defence Exposition will be the biggest in all Airshow history and will be the platform for organisations to showcase their products, technologies and services. It will also incorporate LanDef 2009 and feature land based equipment, ground warfare technologies and land defence systems.

A host of vital conferences will be held in conjunction with the Airshow as well as the essential Careers and Skills expo.
