Queensland Air Museum on the Sunshine Coast
#visitsunshinecoast Unless you're an avid aviation fan, you might be surprised to learn that one of best air museums in Australia is located on the Sunshine Coast.
Queensland Air Museum has an impressive collection of historical military and passenger aircraft, aircraft engines, equipment, photographs, models and books.
Collections highlight the aviation history of Queensland and Australia, such as displays on Charles Kingsford Smith, women in aviation, World War II, the Korean and Vietnam wars, Qantas Airways and the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
The centrepiece is a General Dynamics F-111, which is on loan from the Royal Australian Air Force. The F-111s were best known for their fiery dump and burn exhibitions at air shows around Australia. They could fly at two-and-a-half times the speed of sound and when they retired were still one of the fastest strike aircraft in the world.
The museum also has operational aircraft and engines dating from the 1940s.
The sound of a 1500-horsepower 14-cylinder radial engine powering up is an unforgettable experience. You can hear the engines roar to life at the museum's Aero Engine Run Day on 28 September 2013 (10am to 4pm). Scheduled run times are 11am, 12.30 pm and 2pm.

QUEENSLAND AIR MUSEUM - Caloundra - 24-01-2012.wmv
A rainy day in Queensland spent at the Queensland Air Museum. An amazing collection of historic aircraft - especially early jets such as the (day and night fighter versions here represented) Meteor and deHavilland Vampire- and the Canberra bomber (Australia's first jet bomber) - as well as various ex-RAN jets, an ex-RAAF Sabre and a Polish Mig fighter trainer - not to mention the WW2 era P-51 Mustang, Spitfire and Hudson bomber.
OK prolly means SFA to most but I enjoyed myself immensely!
