SAAM is a private museum run entirely by a small group of volunteer aviation enthusiasts. Our mission is to collect, preserve and display items that are particularly relevant to South Australia's rich Aviation (and Aerospace) History. SAAM is a fully accredited member of the History Trust of South Australia, Museums Australia and the Aviation Museum National Network. We are open every day of the year (except xmas day) from 10am to 4pm.

Most of the 27 aircraft on display and hundreds the other display items have a genuine South Australian connection. Many of them are unique to this museum. We have the first aircraft engine built in Australia, the first fixed wing aircraft to fly over the south pole, a genuine WW2 (Australian delivered) Mk-5 Spitfire, six RAAF ARDU aircraft, Woomera test rockets, and much more. We are open every day of the year (except xmas day) from 10am to 4pm.

SAAM's amazing new entrance sign is now in place at 16 Bedford Street. It was commissioned by the City of Port Adelaide and Enfield to be part of their street art trail and painted by Adelaide based artist Zhuzhu ( Guiyong Zhu). The artwork features SAAM's own Lockheed AP-3C Orion, one of our Woomera test rockets and our F-35 JSF Ironbird, on a background that is representative of our Port Adelaide location.
