The RAAF Museum is currently in the final stages of planning our Air Pageant for 2006, to be held on Sunday 9 April. Gates will open to the public from 9am, with our flying program from 1pm until 4:30pm.
Previous visitors to our Air Pageants will know that we try to attract a wide variety of historic military and civil aircraft in the air and on the ground, and this year is no exception. At this stage, highlights include four CAC Mustangs, P-40 Kittyhawk, Yak 9, DC-3s, a huge selection of historic trainers, plus the Hudson, Meteor and Canberra from the Temora Aviation Museum. Naturally, all participants are subject to weather and aircraft serviceability, and we may be able to add some more new acts as we approach the Pageant itself. We will also be hosting a display by the RAAF's formation aerobatic display team, The Roulettes, and Pip Borrman in his Edge 540.
The RAAF Museum will be open for viewing all through the display, and the RAAF Central Band will also be performing during the day. Some of the RAAF Museum's aircraft collection not usually seen by the public will also be on static display.
Admission to the show is free of charge, so it will be a great day out for the whole family.
Aircraft are welcome to fly in to Point Cook to attend the Air Pageant on either the afternoon of Saturday 8 April or Sunday 9 April prior to 12:15pm.
Pilots intending to visit Point Cook should contact the RAAF Museum Operations Officer on (03) 9256 1640 or the Airfield Manager on (03) 9395 1937 with details of aircraft registration and planned arrival time. Visiting non-display aircraft will be directed to parking areas to the north of the threshold of runway 08.
Normal arrival procedures in accordance with the ERS apply. A Temporary Restricted Area will be activated from 12:15?5:15pm on Sunday 9 April within the lateral boundary of D366 SFC to base of CTA. Also a Certified Air/Ground Radio Service (CA/GRS) will be established from 9am?5:30pm on Sunday 9 April. This service will use the CTAF frequency 126.2
