Finally, as we mentioned on our Facebook page, Caboolture-based Mustang Flights Australia are flying CAC CA-18 Mk21 Mustang VH-MFT (originally A68-110) - named 'Snifter' - North to ‪‎Bundaberg‬ and ‪Mackay‬ on Friday 24 April.  'Snifter' will be in Bundy from 24-26 April to take part in the ANZAC day commemorations marking 100 years since the Gallipoli landings.  An opportunity will then be provided to anyone wanting a ride in this classic aircraft to take a backseat ride at discounted rates!.
