The three-day event will run from 15 to 17 August in Surfers Paradise, and will this year include a new STEM Zone for younger attendees alongside the aerial displays and ground entertainment.
Glenn Collins, whose Pitts Special plane crashed during a four-aircraft display with the SkyAces Formation Aerobatic Team last Friday, suffered severe injuries and was airlifted to The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne.
One unnamed pilot has been confirmed alive and in a critical but stable condition.
The airshow, scheduled for six days next week, will take place less than a month after a major security breach where a 17-year-old boy allegedly attempted to board a Jetstar flight armed with a shotgun and fake explosives and was subdued by passengers.
The two United States Army aircraft were delivered by Royal Australian Air Force C-17A Globemaster cargo aircraft with assistance from RAAF and US Army personnel to RAAF Base Richmond in NSW.
The airshow, held over the weekend, achieved 100 per cent occupancy throughout Surfers Paradise and over 92 per cent occupancy across the Gold Coast, according to figures from Experience Gold Coast.
