Mac’s Bridge 2026 Promises a Day of Wheels, Wings, and Warplanes.
The Mac’s Bridge Classic Car and Aircraft Festival is set to roar into Caboolture Airfield on Sunday July 12, 2026, and this year, it is bringing an extra layer of history to the tarmac.
Following 2024 and 2025 events at Caboolture Airfield, 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. Whether you are a gearhead, a plane-spotter, or just out for a cracking winter outing, this is one Sunday you will not want to miss. There is a small charge for entry to both aviation venues.
In 2025, the Festival—sponsored by the Triumph Sports Owners Association Queensland (TSOAQ), the Mazda MX-5 Club, and the Caboolture Aero Club—drew thousands to marvel at a stunning blend of “wheels and wings.”
Think of polished Triumphs parked beside Tiger Moths, MX-5s gleaming next to T28 Trojans, all set against the airfield’s grass cross strip. This year’s shift to July 6th —a tweak from last year’s July 14th perch—suggests organizers are fine-tuning the event, aiming for clear skies and a seamless showcase. And with a shuttle bus travelling to the Caboolture Warplane Museum from the main entry gate, attendees are in for an even deeper dive into aviation’s past.
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.
For sale: Spitfire personalised plates. Where fitted to a 69 Mk3 spitfire.
Open to all reasonable offers.

This year saw the return to the Belmont Rifle Range gor the second year. This is a great venue with lots of space, but given it is only a new venue for the annual Macleans Bridge car show, we're still sorting some teething issues.
This year saw a great turnout and as a result of lots of hard work from the TSOAQ Macleans Bridge committee the event is on track to build back to be bigger and better than years past.
