With its world-class aeronautical collection featuring 52 aircrafts and counting, the Australian National Aviation Museum is the biggest of its kind in Australia, and it’s a must for aviation enthusiasts. Located at Moorabbin airport, the museum offers a fascinating introduction to Australia’s aviation history, with aircrafts dating from WWII to present-day, and exhibits including uniforms, models, engines, and other flight memorabilia.
Highlights of a visit include rare aircrafts such as a WW2 Beaufighter and a Desoutter II; the world’s oldest surviving CAC Wirraway; a Vickers Viscount that alleged once served as Fidel Castro's plane; and a unique WW1-era Fokker DR1 fuel tank, believed to be from the Red Baron's aircraft.
