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.
