Temora Aviation Museum

This world class attraction has arguably the finest collection in the world of flying historic aircraft.

Established in 1999, it has developed an impressive reputation for its display of military aircraft with historical significance to Australia. There is a focus on restoring each warbird aircraft to remain airworthy which is what makes TAM so special.

Its lineup includes Australia’s only two flying Spitfires, and the oldest Tiger Moth still flying in the country.

The museum’s Wirraway was the first ex-military aircraft permitted to fly on the Civil Aircraft Register, while its World War II Hudson is the only one still flying in the world.

‘Halestorm’ is the only flying Gloster Meteor F.8 in the world, while the museum is also home to the only flying Canberra in Australia and the only Australian built Vampire flying in Australia.

If that’s not enough to feast your eyes on, the museum’s collection also includes a Cessna 0-2A, Ryan STM S2, CA-13 Boomerang, Cessna A37B Dragonfly and more.

Temora Aviation Museum hosts aircraft showcase days several times a year as well as their biennial world-class event, Warbirds Downunder.

A selection of the museum’s aircraft are featured on these days, and due to the close proximity of the aircraft, visitors are able to experience unique sights, sounds and aromas associated with this aeronautical experience.

You can be assured of a fascinating visit when you drop into Temora Aviation Museum, which achieves excellence at all levels of its operations.

And it’s not just all about the aircraft, as the creators of this museum have also been keen to honour those men and women who have served our country over the years.

They have worked to preserve the personal stories behind many of the aircraft, and ensure the memory of those who have risked their lives serving our country in foreign skies is honoured.

An exciting addition to the aviation museum is their Warbird Simulators. The Warbird Simulators are full motion Flight Simulators that will allow you to feel what it was like to pilot the iconic Supermarine Spitfire MkXVI, The mighty P-51 Mustang, or the reliable P-40 Kittyhawk aircraft.

Travel back to the early 1940s, when the Temora Aerodrome and satellite fields housed the largest pilot training school established under the Empire Air Training Scheme. Your pre-flight briefing will take place in our 10 EFTS briefing room, beginning your immersion into the Period. Once your briefing is complete, it’s time to climb into the simulator of your choice and begin your flight.

So, buckle up and book now for a unique experience for yourself, or as a gift for someone special.

*Minimum age to fly in the Simulators is 10 years old.

So take the time to drop into the museum and view its amazing collection – it’s a place people return to again and again.
