This brought tears to the eyes of grown men as two of WWII’s most iconic machines took to the skies together for what was likely to be the first time ever in Australia.

Now, organisers are excited to announce that Warbirds Over Scone in 2018 will include an appearance by a Focke-Wulf 190.

This will mark the first time ever that this impressive German fighter - and once backbone to the Luftwaffe’s Fighter Force - has shared the skies with a Hurricane in the southern hemisphere.

Both aircraft are the only airworthy examples of their kind in Australia and to bring them together to the Scone Regional Airport is really something special.

Also, don’t miss Paul Bennet Airshows displaying world-renowned aerobatic flying in the highly manoeuvrable Wolf Pitts Pro, skydiving displays, amusement rides for kids, food stalls, military aviation memorabilia, merchandise and adventure flights available all weekend.

The spontaneous Flight of the Hurricane in 2016 brought 5000 spectators with only five weeks of planning, so organisers are expecting greater numbers for Warbirds Over Scone 2018 on Sunday, March 25.

Gates open at 9am.

Enjoy the amusements, music and exhibits including the opportunity to explore the restoration projects in the workshop hangars.

Flying displays begin at 11am.

The local Vintage Fighter Restorations will once again send their impressive array of warbirds soaring over Scone among other iconic fighters, trainers and bombers from across Australia.

The event is presented by Upper Hunter Shire Council in conjunction with Vintage Fighter Restorations, Scone Aero Club, Pay's Air Service and Paul Bennet Airshows.
