Members of the public gathered to watch around 16 pilots show off their model jets worth from $20,000 to $35,000.
The jets are replicas of life-sized fighter jets flying with airforces around the world.
A model of the Russian MIG 15 and the Australian RAAF Hornet fighter jets featured in the show.
The model jets run on Jet A fuel and can reach speeds of up to 400km per hour whilst performing full aerobatic displays at low level. The jets are so sophisticated they must operate from an airport runway and only by qualified pilots with permission from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
