RAAF Base Wagga (formerly RAAF Base Forest Hill) is located 5.8 nautical miles (10.7 km; 6.7 mi) southeast of the New South Wales town of Wagga Wagga, in the suburb of Forest Hill. The Royal Australian Air Force no longer controls the airfield which, although still owned by the Commonwealth of Australia, is currently leased to the Wagga Wagga City Council. Although military aircraft still use it, the airfield is now called Wagga Wagga Airport.
