Scheduled for Sunday, 12 September 2027, the 2027 RAAF Air Show will take place at Langley Park in the Perth CBD, with static displays of aircraft and military equipment, as well as RAAF personnel on hand to answer questions.
Organised by the AMDA Foundation, Avalon Airshow is by far Australia’s largest air show and aerospace trade event and is run in collaboration with the Royal Australian Air Force and Victorian state government. Earlier this year, the 2027 event dates were firmed up, with Avalon due to take off from 23–28 February 2027.
The expo, to be hosted at the Cairns Convention Centre, will open for exhibition and sponsorship opportunities next year. It follows a successful show in 2026, with 125 exhibiting companies attending the Gold Coast event in May.
The air show, which returned to Surfers Paradise over the weekend after its cancellation in 2025 due to beach erosion, has confirmed events for 2027 and 2028, with the Queensland government expecting the 2028 outing alone to generate more than $28 million for the state’s economy.
Taking place at Surfers Paradise from 14-16 August 2026, the event will feature flying displays from the RAAF as well as formation warbird and aerobatic displays, firefighting displays, and other attractions. The show is returning this year after its cancellation in 2025.
The high-performance single-engine, two-seater turboprop has been put up for sale by California aircraft seller Platinum Fighter Sales but is registered in Australia as VH-YMK and is being sold out of NSW.
