Shellharbour Airport (formerly Illawarra Regional Airport), Wollongong NSW, Australia
The airshow is confirmed for 13–15 March 2026.
Airshows Downunder Shell Harbour is held in Illawarra on the NSW south coast, just over an hour south of Sydney. Situated in a picturesque location with an amazing backdrop of the Illawarra escarpment, experience the thrill of the flying displays, get up close and personal with historic, military, modern and aerobatic aircraft on the ground and have a great family day out with free carnival rides, market stalls and dining options.
The event’s diverse program includes ground displays and flying demonstrations of historic, military, modern and aerobatic aircraft as well as vintage car and motorbike displays, children’s rides and other aviation and technology related exhibitions. In November 2013 the then “Wings Over Illawarra” was born and has grown substantially over the years- rising to 33,000 spectators in 2017. They were drawn by the great variety of performers, the carnival family atmosphere of the event and a series of “firsts”, including the debut of Australia’s only flying World War II era German Focke Wulf FW190, and performances by Australian aerobatics legend Matt Hall. They were in good company, flying alongside the Royal Australian Air Force Roulettes aerobatic team, F/A-18 Hornet jets and a World War I Fokker DR1.
Airshows down under shell harbour is a weekend carnival of aviation with something for everyone. It will showcase the best of modern defence force aircraft, civil aerobatics performers, restored historic and warbird aircraft and ground displays, with two action-packed days of flying and a wide range of aircraft on the display program.
