Warbirds Downunder Airshow is set to return to Temora, New South Wales, on the weekend of Oct. 19-20, 2024. Known for showcasing one of the largest collections of warbird aircraft in Australia, the 2024 edition promises an exhilarating experience for aviation enthusiasts.

A Legacy of Aviation Excellence

The last Warbirds Downunder in 2018 boasted the largest gathering of warbird aircraft Australia had ever seen. Organisers have hinted that this year’s show could surpass previous events with an impressive line-up, though the full roster of participating aircraft is yet to be confirmed. Anticipation is building as details continue to emerge, with the event expected to once again set a benchmark for Warbird airshows across the country.
