This will be a huge event,last year was an incredible weekend,this year even bigger.

 

Camping with your aircraft is available at Cumulus Airpark adjacent to YGYM, an aviators dinner is on Saturday night, two courses served in a large marquee for $20.00 a head which also includes entertainment and a bonfire.

 

If you have an aircraft for sale,bring it along and feature it along with the small aviation expo that is being held on site on Saturday the 5th.

 

Sunday the 6th is the Gympie Aerodrome Open Day,so after a hot breakfast,taxi your aircraft down to the main display area where there will be a large contingent of aircraft,vintage and exotic motor vehicles and bikes,plus entertainment and markets.

 

There will be a P51 an L39,a Waco,helicopters etc offering adventure flights and we are expecting a fly past of an RAAF C17.
