Air World (Closed)

Greta Road, Wangaratta Airport
Wangaratta, Victoria 3677| Australia

Location
Wangaratta is a town in Victoria about 45 min's from Albury. Air World was based at Wangaratta airport, just outside the town.

Collection Background
Air World was first located at Wodonga in the 1970s (Wodonga is just across the border from Albury). The RAAF Museum's Mosquito was based there before the museum shifted to Wangaratta. Drage's had a museum in Wodonga (across the Murray River from Albury) back in the 1970s, which was then shifted to Wangaratta and later known as "Air World".

The Air World collection featured some very historic Pacific World War II aircraft. After closing many of these were sold or relocated when the museum closed in in 2002, The Air World facility has become home to Precision Aerospace's Pacific Fighters Museum which is currently restoring a number of historic WWII Pacific aircraft.
