Visit us for an immersive experience and explore more than 100 years of Air Force history, at the birthplace of military aviation in Australia: Point Cook.
Join us on a journey through the ages. Hear the stories of our people surrounded by the aircraft they supported and flew. Learn about our beginnings in the Australian Flying Corps, the courage of our Second World War aviators, and the service of thousands of men and women to our nation at home and abroad in times of peace and war.
