Pacific Airshow Gold Coast 2026 — what a lineup 🔥✈️

TheGroundCrew has put together a compilation Reel showcasing the performers that brought Pacific Airshow Gold Coast to life over Surfers Paradise.

From fast jets and heavy aircraft to warbirds, aerobatics, jet suits, helicopters and formation displays, this year’s show delivered serious variety right above the Gold Coast coastline.

F-35 power.
C-17 heavy handling.
RAAF Roulettes precision.
Matt Hall Racing energy.
Warbirds over the beach.
Jet suit madness.
Formation displays over Surfers Paradise.

Pacific Airshow Gold Coast continues to prove why it hits differently — world-class aviation, beachfront crowds, and one of the best backdrops in the country.

A huge thank you to Q1 Resort and Spa for their incredible support throughout Pacific Airshow Gold Coast 2026. Having such an iconic Gold Coast location as part of our airshow experience gave TheGroundCrew an unforgettable perspective over Surfers Paradise, and we’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity and hospitality.

🔥 Matt Hall Racing Three-Ship Lights Up Pacific Airshow Gold Coast ✈️👀

Across the Pacific Airshow Gold Coast 2026 weekend, TheGroundCrew captured the Matt Hall Racing three-ship display in action over Surfers Paradise — the first airshow to see this new display.

Featuring three world-class aerobatic aircraft flying in tight formation, the display brought speed, smoke, precision and serious energy to the Gold Coast skies.

The formation included the MX Aircraft MXS flown by Kris, the Zivko Edge 540 V3 flown by Matt Hall, and the Extra 300/L flown by Jason “Easty” Easthope.

From head-on passes over the ocean to close formation work, solo manoeuvres and high-energy breaks, the team delivered a brilliant showcase of Australian aerobatic flying across the weekend.

Set against the blue water and beachfront backdrop of Surfers Paradise, it was one of those displays that looked every bit as good through the lens as it did from the crowd line.

A huge performance from the Matt Hall Racing team at Pacific Airshow Gold Coast 2026.

RAAF Roulettes over Surfers Paradise 🔥✈️

Today at Pacific Airshow Gold Coast, TheGroundCrew captured the Royal Australian Air Force Roulettes performing their aerobatic formation display over Surfers Paradise, viewed from high above at Q1.

From this vantage point, the display had a completely different feel — tight formation passes, smoke trails across the coastline, and the Gold Coast beach packed below.

Precision flying.
Classic Roulettes formation work.
One incredible view from Q1.

Watching the Roulettes carve through the sky above Surfers Paradise showed exactly why they are always a crowd favourite at major aviation events.

A huge thank you to Q1 for supporting TheGroundCrew and providing us with a dedicated room to capture the action from such an incredible vantage point.

🔥 Final Day Delivers — Pacific Airshow Gold Coast Goes Out In Style ✈️👀

Today, on the 16th of August, Pacific Airshow Gold Coast 2026 wrapped up with a huge final day over Surfers Paradise.

The weather held beautifully for most of the day, with only a brief spit of rain passing through, but nothing was stopping the action. The beach was alive, the crowds were in, and the skies once again delivered.

We started the morning capturing the atmosphere on the ground, moving through the northern end, stalls, STEM zone and event areas before repositioning to something completely different.

Thanks to the incredible generosity and support of Q1 Resort & Spa, TheGroundCrew captured the final day from the 50th floor of Q1, Australia’s tallest building, giving us a unique elevated view over the beach, coastline and Gold Coast skyline.

From the RAAF F-35A Lightning II and RAAF Roulettes to Matt Hall Racing, warbirds, aerobatics, jet suits, formation displays and heritage aircraft, Day 3 delivered a brilliant finish to an unforgettable weekend.

Across three days, Pacific Airshow Gold Coast brought huge crowds, world-class flying and an electric beachfront atmosphere, cementing itself as one of Australia’s standout aviation events.

TheGroundCrew has had an incredible week on the Gold Coast, and we can’t wait to share more from the final day and full weekend.

F-35 handling display from Q1 🔥⚡

Today at Pacific Airshow Gold Coast, TheGroundCrew captured the Royal Australian Air Force F-35A Lightning II conducting its handling display over Surfers Paradise, viewed from high above at Q1.

From this vantage point, the scale of the display was unreal — the F-35 carving through the sky, banking over the coastline, and bringing that unmistakable fast jet energy to the Gold Coast.

Sharp turns.
High power.
Full noise over the beach.

Watching the F-35 display from Q1 gave the whole sequence a completely different perspective, with the aircraft moving across the skyline while the crowd watched from the shoreline below.

A huge thank you to Q1 for supporting TheGroundCrew and providing us with a dedicated room to capture the action from such an incredible vantage point.

USAF C-17 heavy handling over Surfers Paradise 🔥✈️

Today at Pacific Airshow Gold Coast, TheGroundCrew captured the United States Air Force C-17 Globemaster III conducting its handling display over Surfers Paradise, viewed from Q1.

Big aircraft.
Heavy jet power.
Tight turns over the beach.

Seeing a C-17 move like this always catches people off guard — it is a massive aircraft, but the way it banks, turns and powers through the display shows just how capable the Globemaster really is.

From Q1, the scale of the display was unreal, with the C-17 manoeuvring above the Gold Coast shoreline and the crowd watching from the beach below.

A huge thank you to Q1 for supporting TheGroundCrew and providing us with a dedicated room to capture the action from such an incredible vantage point.

Merlin formation high over Surfers Paradise 👀✈️

Today at Pacific Airshow Gold Coast, TheGroundCrew captured the Merlin formation flying high above Surfers Paradise, viewed from Q1.

From that height, the display had a completely different feel — aircraft moving together above the coastline, with the beach, city and ocean all sitting underneath.

High-level formation flying.
Gold Coast skyline.
One incredible airshow backdrop.

A huge thank you to Q1 for supporting TheGroundCrew and providing us with a dedicated room to capture the action from such an incredible vantage point. It gave us a completely unique perspective of Pacific Airshow unfolding over Surfers Paradise.

Pacific Airshow hits differently when you can see the full scale of the display from above, and the Merlin formation looked seriously impressive tracking across the Gold Coast skyline.

🔥 Precision Automotive PC-9 Over Surfers Paradise 👀✈️

Precision Automotive from Wangaratta brought the PC-9 to Pacific Airshow Gold Coast with a sharp handling display over Surfers Paradise.

Clean passes, tight manoeuvring and that unmistakable military trainer profile made the PC-9 a standout part of the airshow lineup.

With the beach packed below and the Gold Coast skyline behind it, this was another reminder of why Pacific Airshow is such a unique aviation event.

🔥 Final Day Hype — The F-35A Has Arrived Over Surfers Paradise ✈️👀

Yesterday, Pacific Airshow Gold Coast witnessed something special.

RAAF F-35A Lightning II display pilot “CT” delivered his first public airshow performance over Surfers Paradise, and what a way to make an entrance.

Raw power, noise, vapour and that unmistakable F-35A presence made it one of the standout moments of Day 2.

Now the final day is here.

If you missed yesterday, today is your last chance to experience the F-35A Lightning II tearing through the skies above the Gold Coast, alongside another huge day of Pacific Airshow action.

Final day. F-35A. Surfers Paradise. Don’t miss it.
