Overview

You will have the opportunity to:
• Sit in a real fighter jet
• Explore the many weapons, radars, ejection seats and artifacts on display
• Try your hand at flying an F/A-18 Hornet in one of our motion simulators (bookings essential on 02 4965 1810 – additional cost)
• Be amazed by the Norm Forrester Collection of hand-made 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 the cafe where you can stay cosy inside or venture outdoors to enjoy all the noise and activity of the fully operational Air Force Base. The choice is yours.

Fighter World

Located just 20 mins drive north of Newcastle in the beautiful Port Stephens region, Fighter World is a totally ‘hands on’ experience. You can get up close to 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 13 historic aircraft and replicas on display plus many artefacts dating back to the first World War. Our two F/A-18 Hornet simulators are state of the art and bookings must be made separately by phoning 02 4965 1810. Inside the main hangar you'll also discover the Norm Forrester Collection; one of Australia’s greatest displays of hand-made 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.
