THERE won’t be a shot fired in anger but there could be a few war stories retold at the Temora aerodrome today when some of the rarest military aircraft in the country take to the skies for Warbirds Downunder.
Hosted by the Temora Aviation Museum the event attracts people from across the country.
Albury pilot Steve Death will fly his 1951 de Havilland Chipmunk, a Curtis P40 Kittyhawk and North American T6 for the Southern Knights formation aerobatics team.
He said the stars of the show would be WWII aircraft but it would be the WWII veterans who would make the event special.
“Many of the veterans, now in their 80s or 90s, wouldn’t have seen these aircraft fly since the war,’’ Mr Death said.
“This airshow attracts the biggest collection of warbirds in the country, some of them the only examples of their type flying in the world.
“I love flying and feel very lucky and privileged to be flying these old planes.’’
