'Unity 991' put on an impressive display at the Wide Bay International Airshow. This aircraft was delivered to US Air, later US Airways, in July 1991 as N885US. It was imported into Australia by Alliance and registered, fittingly, in the old Ansett F.28 sequence as VH-FKA(2) on 11 August 2005. Initially operated in a hybrid scheme, it has since been repainted in full Alliance colours.

This 80% scale Spitfire replica certainly looks the part. There are currently over 30 of these aircraft flying worldwide, and the kits certainly don't come cheap! The aircraft was destroyed and pilot tragically killed whilst displaying at the Classic Jets Airshow, Parafield, on 17 March 2013.

Once again Mike Spaulding brought his lovely Warhawk/Kittyhawk to the Wide Bay International Airshow. Built for the USAAF as 42-104977, this aircraft served with the 49FG, named 'Punkins'. On 13 September 1943 it was shot down by a Zero at Tsili Tsili, near Finschafen, New Guinea. The wreck was recovered in 2004 and rebuilt at Wangaratta and Mareeba.

This 1966 Queen Air was imported new, as the registration implies, for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. It carried the US registration N9506Q for the ferry flight and was re-registered VH-FDV(2) on 19 April 1966. Subsequently sold and operated for a time by Skytours, which specialised in outback tourist flights. Currently based in Queensland, it flew in to the Wide Bay International Airshow each day for static display alongside a current RFDS King Air.

Catching the setting sun after a hard day's flying at the Wide Bay International Airshow. This aircraft was built for the RNZAF as NZ6370 and made its first flight in the UK on 17 Oct 1972. It was shipped to NZ and reassembled at Ohakea, making its first flight there in Jan 1973. In June 1993 it was sold in Australia and shipped to Bankstown. It was stored for some years before being restored, and currently operates on warbird adventure flights out of Port Macquarie.
