Will’s race will take place on Sunday at 11.45am and again at 2.15pm.

Sunday’s community event will also be the last chance the community has for a ‘behind the scenes’ preview of Australia’s newest airport.

Wagners’ chairman and airport developer John Wagner said crowds would be excited by the massive array of planes on the tarmac – with everything from a QantasLink Q400 to a 737 and a Beechcraft Kingair – almost 20 planes of all different sizes.

“It will be a pretty impressive aerial display from the air and the ground – definitely a sign of the aviation industry’s confidence in the project,” said Mr Wagner.

• The chance to win a family holiday for four to Sydney.
• IndyCar champion and Toowoomba boy, Will Power, race in a V8 Supercar against a Cessna Mustang jet down the runway at 11.45am /2.15pm.
