The South Australian Aviation Museum has 27 significant aircraft on display, including an F-111C, F/A-18A Hornet and Mk Vc Spitfire, all of them under cover in the display hangars.
Most of the aircraft have flown in South Australia at some point in their life and every one has a story and a history.
Visitors can enter the cabins of 6 of the aircraft. They also have an extensive display of aviation and aerospace related items on display.
One of the latest arrivals is the Ironbird, a full-scale model of the F-35A Joint Strike Fighter and was used by the Defense Science and Technology Organization (DSTO) to study the effects of electromagnetic compatibility and interference on the aircraft. There is only one of these in existence anywhere in the world, and we have it on display at SAAM.
