Due to the record rainfall over the past couple of weeks, alternative parking arrangements have been made for the WOI event.

Car parking will now be at the Jamberoo Action Park, with increased shuttle bus services to the airshow.

Details can be found here: http://www.wingsoverillawarra.com.au...arking-update1

And unfortunately it looks like more rain is on the way, including the weekend.
Hopefully it will pass in time.

Good luck with the weather everyone. Unfortunately I have a concert that seems to clash dates every year, otherwise I'd be there with bells on!

Sadly guys, the weather has gotten the best of things... announcement on facebook about 11.30am that Wings Over Illawarra has been cancelled. Sad news, but understandable.
