Vintage AirShow Caboolture Brisbane Australia in 4K Ultra High Definition - Join TAVAS for a unique and exciting tribute to the Knights of the Skies. You’ll see Australia’s only collection of flying WW1 type aircraft – along with types from WW2, Korea, Vietnam, the modern day and more. The Australian Vintage Aviation Society hosts its Great Flying Display - a tribute to all Australians who have flown in conflict for over 100 years

The Australian Vintage Aviation Society (TAVAS) exists to raise awareness of the significant part Australians played and how that developed our aviation industry after WW1.

Collection of WWI aircraft in Caboolture gives rare glimpse into Australia's aviation history.

"We're struggling sometimes just to fly them and get them down safely, let alone to be able to operate them as a weapon like these young men were doing, sometimes with as little as 40 hours flying experience behind them."

"You can sit in the cockpit of a jet fighter, or walk through an ex-RAAF Caribou,” TAVAS founding director Andrew Carter said.

"The more adventurous may want try a joy flight in any of the ex-military aircraft that will be available on the day.”

The collection of unique aircraft includes the only Fokker Triplane in the country, painted to represent the one that the Red Baron was shot down in, and the Fokker Eindecker which is the very first true fighter aircraft.

The early aircraft were powered rotary engines with no muffler, no real throttle control and use castor oil for lubrication which creates some smoke and an interesting smell.

There are only three of these types of engines flying in Australia, with two of them at Caboolture airfield.

"Few people realise we had Australian pilots flying and fighting in World War One yet alone we had our own Flying Corps,” Mr Carter said.

"TAVAS are the only organisation in Australia with a collection of accurate flying World War One aircraft who can pay tribute to the brave pilots of 100 years ago.”

"We also use aircraft from World War Two Korean and Vietnam Wars to fill out the collection over the weekend and show people how quickly military aviation developed over the century.”

The Bristol F2B also took to the skies, piloted by experienced warbird Jack McDonald.

With modern and vintage aircraft operating over the two days, this annual event is held at the Caboolture airfield on April 22 and 23 from 9am to 3pm.
