Since its initial launch in 1992 the AUSTRALIAN INT. AIRSHOW has established itself as one of the leading aviation events within the Asia-Pacific region. Held biannualy at AVALON Airport located 40 miles
south-west of Melbourne the AUSTRALIAN INT. AIRSHOW not only attracts the general public but also showcases the latest in Aerospace and Defense technology. Usually conducted in early February this years show was held in Mid-March as not to

Governmental Organisation outnumbered completely all other nations to pay tribute to their close ally and trade partner Australia. The European contingent was maily presented by EADS and BAE Systems but also companys from all over the

A highlight of the show (and a surprise for many) was the debut appearance of the first of the Royal Australian Air Force’s (RAAF) new Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft.
