The MiG-29\u00a0fighter roared across the Booie sky … it was powered by a mini turbine engine using real jet fuel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 26, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you spot the MiG-29\u00a0jet\u00a0fighter buzzing Kingaroy paddocks at the weekend? Or perhaps the Japanese Zero coming into land?<\/p>\n

Then there was the dogfight between World War I biplanes …<\/p>\n

The warbirds belonged to members of the Southern Cross Air Force, a keen bunch of aero-modellers who brought their scaled-down aircraft to the South Burnett for a social weekend of flying.<\/p>\n

The Kingaroy Aero Modellers Society (KAMS) hosted the two-day fly-in at their clubgrounds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thirty pilots took part in the event, with many camping over at the grounds.<\/p>\n

KAMS vice-president Darryl Dove said all the Southern Cross Air Force (SCAF) models must be based on aircraft that have been used for military purposes … by any country, at any time, including trainers, fighters, bombers and helicopters.<\/p>\n

World War II Axis aircraft joined Soviet aircraft and the USAF’s F-117 Nighthawk stealth attack aircraft in the skies over Booie.<\/p>\n

SCAF president Nic Case, from Tin Can Bay, said it was the first time the club had held a social weekend in Kingaroy and thanked KAMS for their hospitality.<\/p>\n
