In July 2009, the skies above Bundaberg will come alive during the biggest air show in Queensland. If you are a flying fan, you'll be amazed by some of the attractions we've lined up so far:
Ding Duck is coming to the Wide Bay Australia International Air show!
For someone who can’t fly it’s amazing the places Ding Duck finds himself in the Aviation world. He’s a perpetual student having logged over 5,987 flying lessons without ever once taking-off. Yet you can find him on countless Flying School walls. His every attempt to fly ends in a mishap or disaster but he has featured in official Air safety campaigns. He fails all his flight theory exams but he appears in textbooks. He is a legend amongst the aviation world.
His determination to get airborne despite the struggles, pitfalls and setbacks is what every aviator can relate to. Ding Duck is a reflection of the realities of the irony, pain and love of aviation, which cause endless frustration to most pilots.

Aerotec Queensland
Aerotec Queensland specialises in the restoration of
classic aircraft from the 1930's to the present day.
Services include the sourcing of an aircraft of the
customer’s choice, and the full restoration to either
full airworthiness, or static display status.
Aerotec Queensland was formed in 1998, with
Lynette Zuccoli heading the company as Managing
Director. Lynette and her late husband Guido Zuccoli
had been involved in aviation since 1969, but following
the tragic death of Guido in an air accident in February
1997, the company went through a restructuring
programme, emerging as Aerotec Queensland.
Whilst the company name altered, the heritage and
reputation upon which it was built remained intact and
today, Aerotec continues to be leaders in the field of
aircraft restoration and maintenance.
The company’s first involvement with warbird recovery
and restoration can be traced back to 1980 when Guido
obtained four ex-Iraqi Air Force Hawker Sea Fury’s
from the United States. The Aircraft arrived in Darwin in
1982 and to assist in facilitating the restoration of these
aircraft a maintenance business was purchased; Darwin
General Aviation.
One Fury, VH-HFG was retained and expertly flown at countless airshows by Guido for many years. Guido restored four T-28 Trojan’s and two North American T.6 Texan’s along with a wide selection of aerobatic aircraft. The eventual outcome was Aerotec Pty Ltd being inaugurated in May 1988, continuing until 1998 when the Darwin and Toowoomba operations became separate companies.
As well as performing general aircraft maintenance for customers, the awesome collection of Aerotec owned aircraft is maintained and regularly flown at airshows by Aerotec Chief Flying Instructor Matt Handley and Chief Engineer Wayne Milburn, Aircraft in the Toowoomba Zuccoli Classic and ex-military aircraft collection include:
- Two North American T-28 Trojan
- North American AT-6 Texan
- De Havilland Chipmunk
- Fiat G-59B
- Boeing N2S-4 Stearman
- Falco F8L
- Pitts Special S1S
- CAC-19 Boomerang
- Ryan STA
- Stipa Caproni
- Flying Flea (static)
- PAC CT4E

If you are a business or a group who would like the ultimate in luxury at the Wide Bay Australia International Airshow 2009, then perhaps you'd like to consider a Corporate Hospitality Chalet. These include entry for 40 staff members or guests each day of the Air Show, VIP parking and a huge chalet set up with all the tables, chairs, crockery and cutlery to make your corporate event a real attraction. You even get your own garden party area in front of your chalets.
