Entertainment Aplenty at Mechanos 2018

There’s plenty of fun and intrigue to look forward to at Mechanos this year as an exciting line-up of displays are confirmed. Mackay Regional Airport will be a buzz on 11 August, as custom and vintage planes, cars and bikes are put on display at Queensland’s only airshow of 2018.

With Paul Bennett Airshows providing the wow factor in the skies, terra firma excitement will come from the collection of collectable cars, bikes and planes.

Keeping up with the themes of speed and innovation, Mechanos will showcase past icons, cutting edge modern technologies and provide an exciting look into the future of the automotive and aeronautic industries.

Hot rod alley, go-karts, RC’s and drones, custom engines and much more will all be on display.

Capturing the exciting moments, and iconic displays will also be made easier this year, with Mechanos set to feature an Instameet.
