Kingaroy residents were treated to the sight of historic aircraft buzzing around the airport last weekend.
The Australian Warbirds Association staged a fly-in at the airport.
It just happened to coincide with the Vintage Iron Rally being held next door at Butwell Park, and the Queensland Police Clay Target Club’s two-day trap carnival which was being held on the other side of the airport, so there was no way that the planes were not going to be noticed.
However, it was not a public display as club members were in Kingaroy only to practise formation flying.
At one stage a pair of biplanes buzzed overhead, followed a minute or so later by a couple of World War II-era piston-engined aircraft.
On the ground, the pilots wandered around, inspecting each other’s aircraft.
Great story on the Warbirds, Would have been great if you had found out what kind of Aircraft they were and put it in
