RAAF Museum – Guests at April's Interactives

At RAAF Point Cook, Vic, Aus, the RAAF Museum’s free interactive program will have a couple of unusual guest aircraft this coming month.

Thu 1 Apr and Thu 8 Apr: Spitfire VIII flown by Guy Bourke.

Tue 13 Apr Vampire blown by Bernie Heuser

If you can get to the Museum, it’s something a bit different to see, and free.

Obvious disclaimer – it’s not guaranteed, weather dependent etc. Best to call before. Details:

Every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at 1pm, see one of our heritage aircraft in flight and learn about the process in close-up detail. This program enables visitors to see, hear and smell what flying is all about. Best of all, it is absolutely free! Bookings are not required.

The Interactive Flying Displays feature a heritage aircraft in flight and may include an aerobatic display. Regular aircraft featured include the Winjeel, Harvard, CT4A, Sopwith Pup replica and Tiger Moth. Visiting aircraft, such as the DC3, Bird Dog or even a modern PC-9 are sometimes featured.

Old and young alike have fallen in love with this program that runs for most of the year (Christmas and New Year period excluded).

Come along and see what’s flying! You will be able to ask questions of the pilot and hear his radio calls during flight. The program is ideal for families and children’s groups.

(Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend, and it’s not a Sunday, so I’m not suggesting a forum meet…)
