Pilots’ Information
Fly in for Free!
Pilots from all areas, in all types of aircraft, are welcome to fly in to this spectacular community event, at no charge.
You may be able to join us as a participant in the Flying Display, or simply come along as a Fly-In Spectator.
The Flying Display is the key attraction of the Barossa Airshow and participants, pilots and the aircraft, will be the major element of all promotions and publicity for the Airshow.
Being part of the Airshow, whether in the air or on the ground, provides an excellent opportunity for you to promote your club, organisation, or individual enterprise to the public. This opportunity is there during the actual event, and before and after, via coverage on television and radio, social media, television news reports, newspaper articles, formal advertising, and, of course, word of mouth.
