Queensland Air Museum, Aviation museum in Caloundra, Australia

The Queensland Air Museum is an aviation museum in Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast, displaying a large collection of aircraft and aviation artifacts across several hangars beside Caloundra Airport. The collection covers military and civilian aircraft, engines, uniforms, photographs, and technical documents.

The museum was founded in 1974, when a Canberra bomber from RAAF Base Amberley became its first exhibit. After moving several times, it settled at Caloundra Airport in 1986, where it has grown ever since.

The museum's name and identity come from its volunteer base: in 2025, 185 active volunteers gave over 38,000 hours of labour. The road outside is Pathfinder Drive, named for Queensland-born Air Vice-Marshal Don Bennett, wartime commander of Bomber Command's Pathfinder Force; his widow Ly Bennett opened the museum in 1987.

The museum occupies a two-hectare site beside Caloundra Aerodrome, with two hangars, a library and restoration workshops; the second hangar was completed in July 2004 and extended in 2006. The entrance road is Pathfinder Drive, named after Air Vice-Marshal Don Bennett, the Queensland-born commander of the WWII Pathfinder Force. Around 25,000 visitors pass through each year, and the site is run by volunteers.

Several aircraft in the collection were rescued from Sentosa Island in Singapore in 1989 and restored before going on display. Without that effort, those planes would likely have been lost, which makes their origins a story in themselves.
