The Pacific Airshow is on 16-18 Aug at Surfers Paradise and you don't need a ticket to see the aircraft and aerobatics. It's a fun addition to a walk, something to watch along the way. Last year there was a vast array of different aircraft. It is a quality show, on between 10 and about 3:30 pm. We will probably leave around 2 pm, to avoid the traffic jam getting back to Brisbane.
