Cootamundra's location midway on Sydney-Melbourne railway line made it the final stop on the 1934 UK-Australia air mail service. Flying mail direct to these major cities was seen as a threat to the railways, which were owned by the states and unionised. Butler Air Transport DH84s picked up the mail from Qantas at Charleville. The arrival of Empire flying boats on the route in 1938 ended Cootamundra's (and Charleville's) role.

Masling Airlines was based in Cootamundra, which was one of the towns to lose air services after the withdrawal of DC-3s from regional routes. Third-level airlines such as Masling filled the void. It ceased operations in 1983 and Cootamundra no longer has scheduled air services.

The Fu-24 was designed by John Thorp whose work included the Piper PA28 Cherokee and the Thorp T-18. The prototype was built in the US to a New Zealand specification. Assembly was initially undertaken in New Zealand using US-supplied kits. From 1961 aircraft were entirely built in NZ.

RAAF Point Cook on the weekend of the 1976 air show. Centre is the Forrestair display: DC-3, Mu-2, two Partenavias and a Turbo Porter used in Antarctica. The cluster of CAC Winjeels between the hangars had not long been replaced by CT/4 Airtrainers and the Sabre and Meteor are from the resident RAAF Museum. Point Cook was where military aviation began in Australia in 1912.
