Fly-in 18-19 Oct 2008
A visit to the Museum of Australian Army Flying will take you back in
time to see how “Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines”
progressed from the Boxkite to present day.
A
must see for all aviation enthusiasts!
Experience
the adventure and romance of our pioneer military aviators and marvel at
their skill and courage. Items of memorabilia date back to 1912, when
Australian Army Aviation was then known as the Australian Flying Corps (AFC).
In
1921 the Royal Australian Air Force was born and soon established its
own traditions. The Australian Army again entered the military aviation
field after WWII and since that time, has served in every post war
campaign, gaining an enviable reputation.
The
Museum’s memorabilia includes aircraft, engines, uniforms, history of
the Oakey Airfield, photographs and memoirs of Army Aviation
servicemen.
The
"Kiddies Corner" is a favourite for children where they can
colour in the aircraft on display and take home.
