Toora takes flight
The largest airshow in western NSW is back for 2025!
The largest airshow in western NSW is back for 2025! Get ready for the Arthur Butler Aviation Museum’s 2025 Airshow, featuring world class aerobic displays from Australian icon Paul Bennet Airshows.
Over 500 tickets have already been sold online, with larger ‘sponsorship’ packages available for aerospace enthusiasts.
More than a dozen unique aircraft will be on display at the Tooraweenah airport during April’s event, including a WWII P40 Kitty Hawk, the Sky Aces, and a DC-3, an aircraft flown regularly out of Tooraweenah in the 1950s. ‘Under the wing’ camping will be available, with a breakfast to be held on the Sunday morning.
Also showcased on the main day will be an airshow classic, the spitfire, and of course Paul Bennet Airshows' Wolf Pitts Pro.
The Arthur Butler Aviation Museum has also been offered a De Havilland Dove aircraft, to be restored and further relocated to the Tooraweenah airport. The De Havilland Dove used to operate for Butler Air Transport and is a historically significant aircraft to our region.
“[The Arthur Butler Aviation Museum] committee remains motivated and dedicated to revive aviation in Tooraweenah and make it a destination for the many enthusiastic pilots who love visiting our unique part of the country and learning about Arthur Butler’s achievement and connection to Tooraweenah,” states the committee.
“We look forward to the community joining us and supporting the Arthur Butler Aviation Museum.”
