Classics set to take flight at Caboolture
CAR and plane enthusiasts are encouraged to preregister their vehicles and aircrafts for the showcase festival of the year before the end of June.
The Mac’s Bridge Classic Car and Aircraft Festival is set to roar into Caboolture Airfield on Sunday July 6, 2025, with pre-registrations preferred to allow time to finalise the event’s display layout. It is $20 for a display car or $15 for visitors per car, and this year.
Following its 2024 debut at Caboolture Airfield, which drew thousands in, this great Queensland tradition—uniting vintage cars, classic aircraft and featuring the Australian Aviation Heritage Centre and now a rare peek inside the Caboolture Warplane Museum—promises a day of nostalgia, horsepower, and high-flying heritage.
Expect the usual feast of classics: a Jaguar E-Type’s curves catching the sun, a Harvard trainer’s growl stirring the air, and the Australian Aviation Heritage Centre’s treasures—like the RAAF Caribou or a Vietnam-era Huey—standing proud.
Last year’s fly-ins faltered under late winds from Boonah, but 2025 could see more vintage birds land, with live demos if the weather plays nice.
On the car front, exhibitors will roll out everything from historic gems to modified icons, chasing the Presidents’ Trophies judged by the host club trio.
Add in the museum’s tours—showcasing meticulously preserved warplanes like the P-51 Mustang or CAC Winjeel—and you have got a lineup that’s equal parts showroom and time machine.
People can go to the site at www.macleansbridge.com for pre-entry details. It is possible to enter on the day and pay by cash or eftpos.
