What a fantastic day at the RAAF Museum Open Day yesterday ❤️
It was wonderful to see so many members of our community, young and old, come together to celebrate and support this incredible new addition to our region. The enthusiasm, stories and shared appreciation for our aviation and military history made the day truly special.
Congratulations to Mildura RSL Sub-Branch INC and Mildura 2 OTU Heritage Inc for their vision and dedication in creating this remarkable new space. A special acknowledgement also goes to the Dareton Men's Shed, whose members should be immensely proud of the extensive restoration work completed on the CAC Sabre aircraft, now standing proudly as the centrepiece of the museum.
We also extend our thanks to the RAAF 1FTS pilots for bringing along their magnificent PC-21 aircraft – the "red Ferrari of the sky" – which proved to be a highlight for visitors throughout the day.
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event such a success.
If you were there, we'd love to see the day through your eyes! Share your photos in the comments below and show us how you enjoyed this memorable community event.
