With school holidays in Australia drawing to a close, this weekend is a great opportunity for aviation enthusiasts and families to head to the HARS Museum in New South Wales. In addition to more than 50 historical aircraft, including a Qantas 747 and Super Constellation, on display, visitors will also see a Soviet L39 Albatross jet fighter roaring overhead and a former French Navy Neptune firing up its two piston and two jet engines on Sunday. The HARS Tarmac Days are back in 2025 The Historical Aircraft Restoration Society (HARS) is holding its first Tarmac Days for 2025, starting on Friday, January 10 and running through Sunday, January 12.
The society has promised that this will be a weekend of action at the HARS Museum, which is located at Shellharbour Airport (WOL), around 100 kilometers (62 miles) south of Sydney, and easily accessible by both road and rail. A point of difference between the HARS Museum and others is that the society aims to have most of its aircraft in airworthy condition , so a trip to a Tarmac Day is always highlighted by aircraft in the air and the sights and sounds of an older aircraft gunning-up its large engines on the ground. This weekend, a French Navy Neptune 566 and a Soviet L39 Albatross fighter jet will take center stage, while the fully airworthy Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Neptune 273 will be on display.
