To celebrate the fact that 75 years ago the famous McRobertson race from London to Australia was held, the Aviodrome Theme Park Museum had organized in the weekend of 4-5 July (2009) a Fly-in of aircraft from that period. Aviodrome tried to get as many aircraft types as possible to this event that had participated in this race. Type present were Douglas DC-2, De Havilland Dragon, De Havilland Puss Moth and Miles Falcon. Aviodrome also showed on the platform a few aircraft types that are normally kept inside: a Fokker F.II replica, a Cierva C.30, the Fokker Spin and the Lambach HL-2.

Further, demonstrations with a working rotary engine and limited flight displays were given.
