The Old Station Air Show

27/01/2026

We are incredibly proud to share that The Old Station Air Show has been named the 2026 Gladstone Region Community Event 🏆

This award belongs to every volunteer, community group, sponsor, attendee and supporter who has poured their time, energy and heart into this event over the years. What began as a community fundraiser has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined, and that is entirely thanks to the people who stand behind it.

To be recognised at a regional level for the impact our event continues to have on our community is both humbling and deeply meaningful. Thank you to Gladstone Regional Council and to our community for believing in this event and the purpose behind it — we are so proud to represent you. ❤️✈️

It is truely a great honour to be named the 2026 Gladstone Region Community Event at tonight’s Australia Day Awards.

Our event was founded in 1989 as a fundraiser for the Royal Flying Doctor Service and through the years we have stayed true to our roots, donating the proceeds from our event back into the community that supported us. Our event would not be what it is without the volunteers and community groups that volunteered their time over the course of the event’s weekend. Knowing that in 2025 we were able to make the biggest donation in our event’s history was all the recognition we needed, but to know that the community saw the impact we made and nominated our event for this award fills our hearts with so much joy and brings a tear our eye.

So from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to the Gladstone community and Gladstone Regional Council for naming us the 2026 Gladstone Region Community Event ❤️

Congratulations to our 2026 Gladstone Region Community Event Award recipient The Old Station Air Show

This award recognises an event that brings our community together on a truly grand scale. The Old Station Air Show continues to deliver pride, connection and lasting community benefit.

✈️ Grateful Recognition at The Old Station Airshow 🌟

Over the weekend, SAAA President, Myles Breitkreutz had the privilege of attending a meeting at The Old Station Flying Club to discuss the fly-in held back in May. This was a truly memorable gathering that brought together passionate aviators, volunteers, and supporters from across the region and other states. We were deeply honoured to receive a certificate of appreciation and a generous donation in recognition of our contribution to the event.

“These gestures mean a great deal—not just personally, but as a reflection of the collaborative spirit that keeps our aviation community thriving.” said Myles “SAAA have been asked to input and participate in the May 2028 event. I am humbled and so very thankful to the SAAA team that has earnt the respect from the organisers of the biggest GA private Fly-in in the Southern Hemisphere”.

Thank you to The Old Station Flying Club for the kind acknowledgment, and to everyone who helped make the fly-in and Airshow such a success.

Here’s to safe skies and strong community! 🛩️💙
