It’s no question that the impact of COVID 19 has hit the aviation industry hard. Here in Australia we are privileged to have the team at Paul Bennet Airshows bring great enjoyment and entertainment to families year after year.

This year would be particularly tough for the PBA team due to the restrictions imposed by COVID 19 and the forced cancellation of airshows as we know them.

Head over to the Paul Bennet Airshows link below and show your support by purchasing a ticket to today’s live stream airshow for just $10 to ensure we continue to see these brilliant displays in the years to come.

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!
AN ENTIRE AIRSHOW STREAMED LIVE TO YOU

That's right; we are putting on an airshow to save you from boredom. Unfortunately, right now you can't come to us... but we can bring the airshow to you.

10:00am 13th June 2020 Australian Eastern Standard Time

Why we are Live Streaming an Airshow?

You may be thinking "how & why are you doing this during the COVID-19 Pandemic?" Well, it's sensible questions and here's our answer...

The How:

Great care and planning is going into the filming/streaming of this event. There will be no general public at the recording location, and only an extremely small team of pilots and crew will be present.

All guidlines and rules put forward by local and state government will be adhered to including social distancing and hygiene practices. Our pilots and crews well being along with not contributing to the spread of the virus are our two greatest concerns. Ample facilities and training will be provided to our entire team to ensure we operated in the safest way possible.

The Why:

With a huge number of airshows across the world cancelled, we pondered on how can we keep the spirit of aviation thriving. We also know a lot of people are currently self isolating. Hopefully, we can bring some great family entertainment live to their homes without having to step out the door.

This is also a rare opportunity for you to see an airshow from a different perspective with behinds the scenes footage, including pilot interviews, aircraft tours, and what it takes to put on an aerial extravaganza. Plus we have camera's everwhere on the ground in the planes so that you won't miss a moment of the action.

With all the current uncertainty going around, we are hoping the Paul Bennet Airshows Livestream Experience can offer a brief escape for people around the world.
