The airfield site has an area of 92.2 ha (228 acres) and is home to the Luskintyre Aviation Flying Museum; and is primarily used for the restoration of vintage aircraft, particularly de Havilland Tiger Moths.

A company specialising in the repair and restoration of early de Havilland aircraft was later relocated from Dungog by its then owner Ray Windred and has operated from a hangar on the airfield for over 30 years.

On take-off a carburettor fault caused a loss of engine power, the port wing stalled and the aircraft spun into the ground and burst into flames.

The event allows visitors to inspect airworthy and under-restoration Tiger Moths and view the museum's collection of memorabilia.
