Temora Aviation Museum is in the final stages of preparation to make sure everything is "go" for this weekend's Warbirds Downunder air show.
The show on Saturday, 2 November will be the culmination of 18 months of planning for both the museum staff and show volunteers.
“The detail which has gone into preparation for Warbirds Downunder 2013 is extraordinary and it has all been focused on ensuring that every visitor who comes through the gate has the best experience possible” said the Museum’s Chief Executive, Kenny Love.
“Warbirds Downunder 2013 will be a world class display of vintage and historic aircraft complimented by modern RAAF fast jets including the Hawk and the Hornet. This year we have also introduced a Veteran Retreat where veterans will be able to relax and catch up with mates. There are plenty of activities for the entire family including pedal-powered airplanes for the little aviators.”
Visitors will have the opportunity to get up close to some rare aircraft, walk through the Lockheed Constellation and check out the cockpit of a fast jet. Both the RAAF Hawk and F/A-18 Hornet will be displaying on the day with an additional static display of both the Hawk and Hornet and a C-130J Hercules.
The Roulettes are also on the program.
Other aircraft slated to appear include a PBY Catalina, Mustangs, Kittyhawks, Spitfires, the Southern Knights formation aeros team and an ex-RAN Huey.
In addition to current serving and ex-military aircraft, more than 150 general aviation and business aircraft are expected to roll-up, which will make Temora very busy airspace over the weekend. Pilots need to be check the AIP SUP, notams and the Temora Aviation Museum website for information before flying in.
