Here are the latest updates on Wings Over Shellharbour:
- The event took place on 16–17 May 2026 at Shellharbour Airport (Illawarra region, NSW). Organizers touted appearances by three Spitfires (including a two-seat Spitfire Mk IX) and the world’s only airworthy F4U-1D Corsair, with additional acts from Paul Bennet Airshows, the Sky Aces Formation Team, the Air Force Roulettes, and the Royal Australian Navy.[1][2][3]
- Attendance was expected to exceed 15,000 visitors across the weekend, with ground displays including the HARS Aviation Museum and a Careers Day for students; tickets and further event details were available on the official Wings Over Shellharbour site.[2][1]
- Pre-event coverage highlighted the significance of the lineup, the unusual nature of three Spitfires performing together, and notable stunts such as a Piper Cub landing on a moving truck during the program.[1][2]
If you’d like, I can pull direct links to the official event page and a couple of reputable aviation outlets for you to bookmark the exact schedules and ticketing details.
