Airshow returns to Warnervale

The Central Coast Airshow will return to Warnervale Airport on May 14 and 15.

Organisers promise more than four hours of flying displays from aircraft of varying age and size.

The action will include aerobatics solos, formation aerobatics, warbirds, skydiving and, organisers warn, heart stopping stunts.

Not just an airshow, the event will be run as a festival with adventure flights, helicopter rides, hot air balloons and a freestyle motocross show, as well as rides, jumping castles, face painting and roaming performers.

The festival will also include a static display of vintage aircraft, military vehicles and vintage cars, plus food and drink stalls and vans promising wine, craft beer and local food.

Profits from the Central Coast Airshow will go to Little Wings, a non-profit organisation that provides free, professional and safe flight and ground transport services for sick children in rural and regional NSW.

It strives to ease the journey and help sick children access specialised medical services and treatments that are only available in major cities or towns.

Little Wings supports families by easing the financial burden, emotional strain and travel fatigue that they experience due to the long-distance travel associated with receiving vital medical treatment.
