Thrills, skills and elite aerobatics were on display at Mildura Airport on Sunday as the Mildura Air Show returned to Sunraysia for the first time in 20 years.
Some of the world best pilots took to the skies in some fascinating aeroplanes, giving Mildura one hell of a show.
“People can expect some pretty cool stuff that you don’t normally get the chance to see in Mildura,” Mr Bennett said prior to the event.
“It’s a great thing Mildura Airport is doing for the community. There is something for the whole family. It suit’s the mums, suits the dads, suits the kids. Hopefully, we can inspire the next generation of aviators.”
On the Thursday prior to the event, Mildura Airport chief executive Trevor Willcock said he was delighted to bring the air show back to the region, and ticket sales were going well.
“It’s been a very long time since we have done something like this for the community, its been 20 years in the making, and hopefully we can make it a biannual event,” Mr Willcock said.
With thousands of people flocking through the gates on Sunday, the event was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
