continue to the museum's site here |
To be held on Sunday March 21st 2010. All proceeds are to be used to continue the museum's restoration work on their newly acquired F4U Corsair aircraft and many others. Along with the museum's many static displays, for the first time a flying programme will be included in this event. As Parafield is a busy training airfield, the flying displays will occur each half hour from 11:00am to 04:00pm to allow the normal Parafield traffic to arrive and leave. Displays will include handling demonstrations by warbird aircraft such as the the australian built Boomerang and Wirraway, aerobatics by the world famous Chris Sperou in his "Super Stinker" and others, helicopter displays including the Westpac Helicopter and a display by a RAAF PC-9. A couple of "special" displays will be put on during the day just for kids. Many exotic, antique and classic aircraft are flying in to Parafield for static displays on the day and, as Parafield Airport will remain open on the day, some will fly in between the formal flying displays. Static aircraft will include a Mirage, Sabre, Sea Venom, P-38, P-51. During the day, the museum's fullly functional Allison V-12 Aero engine will be started. Importantly, this event will be the first public viewing of the newly restored P-39 Airacobra, salvaged from Papua New Guinea and painted in 24 squadron Australian Markings, the only one of it's kind in the world! On the ground will be displays by the various flying organisations at Parafield and Adelaide airports, Defence Force recruiting, Air League, Air Youth, Legion Cadets, the Country Fire Service and displays of scale aircraft, military vehicles and weapons. MIX 102 FM's Jason "Snowy" Carter will supply the commentary this year along with a list of expert and special guest commentators. Snowy will be interviewing many of the pilots and talking about their aircraft and displays. Air Force veterans will be on hand too to talk about their experiences flying some of the Museum's aircraft. Entry is via the museum with free parking froms kings road.
