The Barrington Coast Airshow returns to Taree Regional Airport, NSW, on Saturday 7 November 2026, bringing warbirds, aerobatics and jets back to the Mid North Coast.
Organisers have released the first wave of the 2026 lineup, headlined by the Barrington Coast debut of the de Havilland Vampire jet. Also confirmed are the world's only flying F4U-1D Corsair, Australia's only flying Hawker Sea Fury, Paul Bennet in the Wolf Pitts Pro, Glenn Graham in the Zivko Edge 540 and Yak-52, and the Sky Aces Formation Aerobatics Team flying a four-ship display.
A line-up of warbirds will also take to the sky, including the T-28 Trojan, P-40 Kittyhawk, Grumman Avenger, CAC Wirraway and Cessna O-2. Organisers say further acts will be announced as the show approaches.
On the ground, visitors can expect more than 18 food and drink stalls, market stalls, show cars and military vehicle displays, RAAF and Paul Bennet Airshows flight simulators, and a Kids Zone with face painting and activities. Unlimited amusement rides are included with every ticket, and children under six get in free. Helicopter joy flights will run throughout the day courtesy of Hunter Valley Helicopters, from $100 per person for six minutes or $200 for fifteen. A free shuttle bus will run to and from designated off-site parking.
Tickets are available online, with adult general admission at $55 and a family pass (two adults, two children) from $130, both up to $10 cheaper than buying at the gate. A Gold Pass ($160 online) adds grandstand seating, express entry and exclusive bar access, while a strictly limited Ultimate Experience ($500, capped at 20 guests) includes a flight-line walk, pilot meet and greet, and a warbird cockpit photo opportunity. Tickets are available here.
