By June 1986 the building was nearing completion and the QAM aircraft were moved from Brisbane to Caloundra in a midnight convoy. The road leading to the Museum has been named Pathfinder Drive in his honour. Mrs Bennett has since graciously agreed to take over her husband's role as Patron of the Museum. QAM is the only community-owned aviation museum in Queensland with nothing in the collection belonging to an individual member. The Museum is run and operated entirely by voluntary labour.
Bus tours are welcome but it is suggested that advance notice be given of any planned visit.
Soft drinks are available at the entrance counter.
