Tickets officially open for RAAF Richmond’s centennial air show

The three-day event will run from 15 to 17 August in Surfers Paradise, and will this year include a new STEM Zone for younger attendees alongside the aerial displays and ground entertainment.

The airshow, scheduled for six days next week, will take place less than a month after a major security breach where a 17-year-old boy allegedly attempted to board a Jetstar flight armed with a shotgun and fake explosives and was subdued by passengers.

One unnamed pilot has been confirmed alive and in a critical but stable condition.
