Aero Engine Run Day 2012

The Queensland Air Museum presents the Aero Engine Run Day with a special display of aviation horsepower. The museum will be firing up its collection of historic operational aircraft engines and aircraft. The awesome sight and sound of a 1500 horsepower 14 cylinder radial engine powering up an unforgettable experience and one that you wouldn't want to miss.

The museum's operational engines and aircraft cover a range of engine styles dating from the 1940s. Close inspection of the engines in between the runs is encouraged, when you can meet and talk to the restoration volunteers.

Running times will be 11.00am, 12.30pm and 2.00pm. The regular museum display of over 50 aircraft and aviation memorabilia is included in the entry fee. An all day barbecue Sausage Sizzle will be operating with cold drinks, tea and coffee.
