SAAM is run entirely by a small group of volunteer aviation enthusiasts and relies heavily on the generosity of the community. You can help us by;
- Visiting SAAM and telling your friends about us.
- Donating historical aviation and space items.
- Volunteering your time and helping us run the museum.
- Donating to the SAAM foundation (fully tax deductable).
SAAM has recently secured 2,600 square meters of additional land to the south of Hangar 2. We are in exciting times, as we now have an opportunity to plan for a future expansion and associated storage and display additions. Please contact the
SAAM Foundation if you can assist us with (100% tax deductable) financial or material support.
Visitors travelling to Port Adelaide on the new Port Dock train line will see one of our new exhibits in our rear yard. Ironbird is a full-scale model of the F-35A Joint Strike Fighter and was used by the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) to study the effects of electromagnetic compatibility and interference on the aircraft. There is only one of these in existence anywhere in the world, and we have it on display at SAAM. We are a 7 minute walk from the Port Dock Station (if you can resist the temptation to drop in at the Pirate Life Brewery on the way).
