The Mutual Bank is honoured to once again support Warbirds Over Scone, returning in March 2026 as one of the Hunter region’s most iconic and historically significant events. More than an airshow, Warbirds Over Scone stands as a powerful celebration of aviation heritage and the stories that have shaped our region’s identity.
Hosted at Scone Airport 28 – 29 March, and set against the backdrop of the Hunter Valley, this two-day festival brings history to life with one of the Southern Hemisphere’s most remarkable collections of vintage and wartime aircraft. Highlights for 2026 include:
-
Australia’s largest gathering of Supermarine Spitfires since WWII
-
A spectacular assembly of Mustangs, Kittyhawks, classic trainers and heritage favourites
-
The world’s only flying F4U1D Corsair
-
Australia’s only airworthy Vampire and the legendary Sea Fury “Southern Cross”
-
Aerobatic displays from Paul Bennet Airshows
-
Dozens of aircraft on static display, including rare heritage jets and meticulously restored warbirds
Visitors can also explore the Hunter Warbirds museum, enjoy adventure and helicopter flights, browse market stalls, view classic cars and take in a festival atmosphere that blends history, community and family fun.
