点评:I LOVE AVIATION, ESPECIALLY THE HISTORY OF IT, COMMERCIAL AIRLINES AND FIGHTER COMBAT AIRCRAFT, DID YOU KNOW THAT AIRCRAFTS HAD TERMS LIKE NEO STANDING FOR NEW ENGINE OPTION WHICH MODERNIZED A320-FAMILY JETS WITH NEW ENGINES + SHARKLETS LIKE THE A320neo OR A321neo ALSO MEANING UPGRADED VERSION? DID YOU KNOW X STANDS FOR NEXT GENERATION / EXPERIMENTAL/ eXtended IN THE BOEING FAMILY LIKE THE 777X (777-8 and 777-9) AND 737 MAX 10X (concept stage)?
Alright, I'm sorry, back on track.
Firstly, I would highly recommend visiting this place especially for aviation nerds like me which is next to Moorabbin Airport, it has real life models of historical planes that haven't been striped yet. They include World War 2 planes, jet turbine modern planes, helicopters and some small airliners, some of them have access to the inside (cockpit) with adjustable buttons, levers and switches (don't work but satisfying).
They have a warehouse including mostly World War 2 propeller planes like American Mustangs and Curtiss Warharks, British Supermarine Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes and a few modern era jets (I forgot but maybe it was a Lockheed F-104 or F/A-18 Hornet). The warehouse also had a flight simulation machine for kids and an interior cockpit for an outdated airliner.
Outside, there were 1960's helicopters like from Vietnam War and Korean War, a few biplanes and single/ double seat planes (not military) were parked in a few smaller sheds, at the very front of the museum (left side) was the half interior of an early 2000's Boeing airliner which had most things intact and access inside.
Overall, I had a really nice experience here where the museum teaches us the history of planes, the timeline of development as well as types of uses including sports, rotary aircraft, military, cargo and passenger.
翻译:我热爱航空,尤其对航空史、商业航空公司和战斗机情有独钟。你知道吗?飞机名称中曾经有过像“NEO”这样的术语,它代表“新发动机选项”(New Engine Option),指的是为A320系列飞机配备新型发动机和鲨鳍小翼,例如A320neo或A321neo,也代表升级版。你知道吗?在波音系列飞机中,“X”代表“下一代/实验型/扩展型”(Next Generation/Experimental/Extended),例如777X(777-8和777-9)以及737 MAX 10X(概念阶段)?
好了,不好意思,我又跑题了。
首先,我强烈推荐大家去这个地方,特别是像我这样的航空爱好者。它就在穆拉宾机场旁边,那里陈列着一些尚未涂装的历史飞机的真实模型。这些模型包括二战时期的飞机、现代喷气式飞机、直升机和一些小型客机。其中一些模型可以进入驾驶舱内部,里面有可调节的按钮、操纵杆和开关(虽然不能用,但很有意思)。
他们还有一个仓库,里面主要陈列着二战时期的螺旋桨飞机,比如美国的野马战斗机和寇蒂斯战鹰战斗机,英国的喷火战斗机和飓风战斗机,以及一些现代喷气式飞机(我忘了具体型号,可能是洛克希德F-104或F/A-18大黄蜂)。仓库里还有一台儿童飞行模拟器和一个老式客机的驾驶舱内部模型。
室外停放着一些20世纪60年代的直升机,例如越战和朝鲜战争时期的机型;几架双翼飞机和单/双座飞机(非军用)则停放在几个较小的棚子里。博物馆最前方(左侧)展示着一架21世纪初波音客机的半个内部结构,大部分部件都保存完好,并且可以进入参观。
总的来说,我在这里的体验非常棒。博物馆向我们介绍了飞机的历史、发展历程以及各种用途,包括运动飞机、旋翼机、军用飞机、货运飞机和客运飞机。
