RAAF Wagga Aviation Heritage Centre
The Aviation Heritage Centre originally opened in 1995 as the 'RAAF Museum - Wagga Annex' to provide a focus on the Air Force's involvement in the Riverina and access to the history and memorabilia of military aviation and training. It closed in 2005 due to structural issues and reopened after repairs in October 2010 as the RAAF Wagga Heritage Centre (later renamed the RAAF Wagga Aviation Heritage Centre). The Centre is manned by volunteers from within the Wagga Wagga community and managed by RAAF Reservists.
The RAAF Wagga Aviation Heritage Centre is located in the old Guard House at the entrance to RAAF Base Wagga at Forest Hill, ten kilometres east of the CBD of Wagga Wagga, along the Sturt Highway. The entrance to the base is easily recognisable by the static aircraft on display next to the Aviation Heritage Centre. These aircraft are completely accessible for visitors to view and photograph.
Ample parking is available by turning to the right in front of the manned guard gate. While the cnetre doesn't open until 10am, there is lots to see outside the main building including history boards, murals, static aircraft, and of course some caches.
