Overview

Located just 20 mins drive north of Newcastle in the beautiful Port Stephens region, Fighter World is a totally ‘hands-on’ experience. Upon entering you can walk-around, touch and view some of Australia’s most iconic aircraft plus enjoy the added benefit of sitting in the cockpits of a real Mirage jet fighter and a Macchi jet trainer. There are 18 historic aircraft and replicas on display including the giant F-111C. Inside the main hangar you'll also discover the Norm Forrester Collection, one of Australia’s greatest displays of hand built model aircraft. A vast array of weapons, radars and ejection seats adds to the experience and gives an insight into these amazing machines not normally available to the general public.

Visit: Fighter World, 49 Medowie Rd, Williamtown, Port Stephens, New South Wales 2318 Australia

At Fighter World innovation and change are a way of life and to make any visit more entertaining Fighter World has introduced interactive kiosks with selectable content - no more boring information panels. Free WiFi is also available opening a world of opportunity for smart phone, tablet and iPad users who can take the ‘QR’ Tour and experience interactive content on a whole new level.

You have the opportunity to:

• Sit in a real fighter jet
• Explore the many weapons, radars and ejection seats on display
• Activate the multi-barrel aircraft cannon and learn how it works
• Watch our volunteers construct a WWI Sopwith Camel aircraft
• Be amazed by the Norm Forrester Collection of hand built model aircraft

When you've finished viewing the many displays it’s an easy step up to the Observation Deck where you can sit and watch some of the world's most advanced aircraft take-off and land and don't forget to stop at the souvenir shop for something truly unique.

Of course it's always a pleasure to revel in the warm welcome, great food and friendly atmosphere of Cafe Fighter World where you can stay cosy inside or venture outdoors to enjoy all the noise and activity of the fully operational Air Force Base. You have to try our famous milkshakes, steaming espresso coffee and delicious meals and snacks. The choice is yours.

Fun for all levels of interest. If you are not into reading all the detailed history there are short videos or you can go out to observation deck and watch the Hawks or F35’s land n take off.

We have visited twice now and have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves both times. We also love that it is right next to Airforce and Airport so we can enjoy the experience of watching the planes taking of and landing as well as The Airforce practising manoeuvres.

Neat place to visit if you enjoy fighter jets. Small museum but but worth a visit to get up close with a F1-11 or Hornet and other fighters . $19 per adult . There is a balcony upstairs that looks over the Newcastle airport and if you are lucky enough like us, we saw the F-35, Hawke, Poseidon take off and land !! Nice cafe also next door and not overpriced with indoor and outdoor seating . .
