Held every second year, the next Australian International
Airshow will be held at Avalon Airport in 2007. The first few days will be reserved for Industry
guests only while the public days will be Friday afternoon, Saturday
and Sunday.
The 2007 airshows's pubic
days are Friday 23rd of March to Sunday 25th of March 2007
The Airshow has become one of
Australia's largest major events, with hundreds of thousands
flocking to the public days of the show to see some of the
most amazing flying machines ever seen.
It is one of the few chances people have to get up close to
huge military aircraft and some of the more interesting
planes and helicopters around.

The 2003 event celebrated the 100
years of Flight. The Wright brothers were the first
people to fly in December 1903 at Kittyhawk in the
USA.
As well as stationary aircraft which many are open to the
public, there is a huge expo area where most of the worlds
major aircraft and component manufactures show their new
products.
But the main interest is the flying displays. Every minute of
the event there is a flying program, from the smallest of
recreational home made aircraft to the monsters of warfare
showing their capabilities.
One highlight is the Friday night-time spectacular when
fighter jets fire their after burners and mock wars are
staged.
Avalon airport is about 20 minutes (the Melbourne Side) of
Geelong's CBD. Public transport including trains to
Lara from
both Melbourne and Geelong will be available. Qantas's new
budget carrier Jetstar now flies to Avalon form several
destinations.
