The Plane! The Plane!

The Royal Australian Air Force Museum is in Point Cook RAAF Base next to Werribee South. It is open to the public so everyone is welcome.The Museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday and admission is FREE!
Here you can see some of our retired military airplanes used by the RAAF.
Inside the museum there are lots of displays showing everything you like to know about the Air Force such as engineering..
They have lots of dummies like these showing how interesting working with planes can be!
I even got to join the boys in one of their missions! Cool eh! Spot the odd one out.
There are heaps of airplanes to check out for airplane enthusiasts.
I supposed these are obsolete airplanes or else they wouldn't make it into the museum!
They also have really old planes like this bi-plane.
..or this one.
Jet fighters to get you excited..
Can't remember what this one is..
Outside you can watch pilots training on their take-offs and landings..
Inside this hangar we will see how these planes are restored.
Today they are restoring this A520-600 Mosquito.
In another hangar we can see more airplanes on display.
These are recently restored airplanes..
..mostly two seater fighters, in single and double winged.
There's even a helicopter..
..and more bizarre looking airplanes.

It was fantastic coming here and best of all it's all free! All you have to do when you get here is report to the guard house, show them some identifications and you'll be issued these passes that let you access all areas they zoned as public areas. You're sure to enjoy yourself here like we did!
