Warbirds over Scone - 28-29 March 2026

[Marty_d]

Hi all,

 

Anyone going this year?

 

Any recommendations re accommodation? Looking like Jetstar to Sydney, hire car and the nearest motel vacancy in Muswellbrook.

 

It'd be great to meet any forum members who are flying in, and drool over your plane!

 

Cheers, Marty

Jetstar  does flights Melb- Newcastle and no trouble getting a hire car there. Nev

Thanks for the info. Marty_d.

 

Tad pricey @ $57.65/day ($88.25/2day) ticket, plus landing fees and the cost of flying in.

 

There should be a concession for fly-in's, as we provide some of the attraction ("... drool over your plane!").

 

Strangely the Gold Pass price is the same as the proletariat price.

 

Arrivals between 08:00-10:00.

No departure advise, however air show ends at 16:00 so presume anytime after this.

I think you may be mistaken, gold price is $200 for 2 days.

For me the $85 general admission for 2 days isn't bad, compared to the flights/accommodation/hire car etc needed to get there.

Quite reasonable these days. Nev.

Well, I'm all booked.

They do, but unfortunately the flights from HBA-MEL don't match up.

 

Flying into Sydney on Friday 27/3, hire car, staying at an Airbnb in Muswellbrook and flying back on Monday 30/3.

 

Hope the weather is good!  Massive Spitfire and Mustang lineup by the looks of it.

 

If you're going, send me a PM and it'd be great to catch up!

Hire car out of Sydney, North on a Friday and back on a Monday? I hope you are used to DENSE traffic. Newcastle ( Williamtown)-Muswellbrook is an easy drive and the flight time is the same as to Sydney as you get Mucked around getting into Sydney. Nev

[facthunter]

PM sent. Nev

[Marty_d]

As I said Nev the flights don't match up with HBA-MEL. Newcastle may be easier but not if there's an extra 10 hours waiting for flights.

Anyway it's all booked now so I'm not changing it.

[facthunter]

OK.
