During their stay you can expect to see increased aircraft activity across the region and the public viewing area at Mildura Airport is a great spot to safely watch the action.

The community will also have a chance to meet some of the pilots and crew at the RAAF Museum Open Day on Sunday 31 May from 10:00am to 1:00pm.

The event will celebrate the reopening of the museum in its new hangar, featuring a CAC Sabre as the centrepiece and a fantastic collection of aviation history.
