Patrons will have the chance to view up close a massive C-17A Globemaster strategic airlifter, now a familiar sight in Ipswich skies, which can carry a 78 tonne of cargo almost anywhere in the world at airliner speed.

Also on display, a variety of iconic RAAF aircraft including a C-47 Dakota, Sabre and Mirage fighters, WWII Boston bomber, Canberra bomber, Caribou tactical airlifter, the F-111 strike reconnaissance jet and Iroquois helicopter.
