Very nice museum 😍

#2024wish 2023 visit to RAAF Museum Melbourne – an enthralling tour of Australia’s aviation history that touched the skies! 🛩️🇦🇺 This museum is aviation enthusiast free and offers a non-profit experience to those who wish to discover more about Point Cook, the creation place of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). The museum’s façade covered with historic aircraft prepares for an aviation journey. The visitor gets a glimpse of the treasures inside in an entrance plaza with iconic planes. 🚁🌐 The Hangar 180 is an extensive exhibition hall for aviation enthusiasts. From old biplanes to modern jets, every exhibit is accompanied by a thorough history showing the development of Australia’s military aircraft. 🛫📜 Interaction with the interactive displays and flight simulators provide hands-on training. I was sitting in a cockpit, apparently gliding through the skies – an exhilarating experience for all aviation enthusiasts. 🕹️✈️ The Conservation and Restoration Hangar reflects the museums commitment to preserve, restore historical aircraft. These flying relics also come with skilled teams working on them adding a sparkling dimension to the visit. 🔧🔍 Next to the museum is Point Cook Coastal Park – a tranquil place for picnic where Port Phillip Bay lies. An ideal way to match aviation research with calm nature. 🍽️🌊 For military history enthusiasts, the local Fort Queenscliff Museum offers a more detailed exploration of Australia’s defense legacy. Just a short drive away, Werribee Open Range Zoo has wild extension to the day. 🏰🐘 Pro tip: Plan your visit at times of the museum’s flying displays or special events – and there is nothing more thrilling than watching historic planes in action. And land your curiosity for a memorable journey through the country’s aviation history! 🛩️📆 #raafmuseumadventure #aviationhistory #pointcookexploration #flightenthusiast
