Mildura Air Show Ready for Take-off


 


Following the recent success of the Sunraysia Sporting Aircraft fly-in day and Ausfly 2024 held at the recently upgraded Wentworth Airport, Mildura Airport is set to host what is advertised as an "unforgettable experience".

The event which will be held on the 8th of September will feature an aerobatic display by Paul Bennet Air shows, a Sky Diving flag drop, the RAAF Roulettes, as well as various displays featuring some impressive aircraft.

Aerohunter Adventure Flights are offering limited flights and people can choose between the historic Wirraway or the Avenger. Ticket pricing starts at $600, and this may be the perfect gift for the daredevil in your family.

The RAAF Mildura Museum which is part of the airport precent, will host the history of the region's contribution to the nation's Air Force. Mildura was an operational training unit during the Second World War and the Mildura Museum holds some significant history.

Adding to everything that will be going on in the air, there will be an assortment of delicious street food at ground level as well as car and motorcycle displays, market stalls and kids activities.

A recently released map of the event as well as the many photos being pushed out from the Air show Facebook page suggests that the organisers have gone "all out" to make this a success.

There's no doubt the organisers of the Wentworth events will now have some competition if the Mildura Air Show continues as a regular date on the Sunraysia calendar.

However, speaking as an attendee at the last two Wentworth events, the Mildura Airport will have to pull something special out of their hat to put on an show as well run as The Sunraysia Sporting Aircraft group did. Joy flights in a Tiger Moth at the Fly-in Day were more affordable than the $600 asking price at the upcoming event, further more they were provided by a local operator which can do these flights all year round... food for thought.

A video of the fly in day can be seen below.

An adult online ticket at the Mildura Air Show will set you back $50 or they can be purchased at the gate for $55.
