Mildura Airport in Victoria is located 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) southwest of Mildura. It is the busiest regional airport in Victoria, the 32nd busiest Australian airport and has twice been named Australia’s Rural Airport of the Year.
During World War II it was taken over by the Royal Australian Air Force as RAAF Base Mildura. From 1961 to 1976, Australia and the United States Atomic Energy Commission agreed to conduct “Project HIBAL” Upper Atmosphere Sampling at Mildura Airport.
