Stan & Mags: Flight to the Past

A Fighterworld Museum Adventure

Step into a world of curiosity, mystery, and discovery…

When a storm rolls in over Fighterworld Museum, something unusual begins to stir inside the quiet hangar. Among the aircraft and shadows, Stan — a thoughtful little koala — finds himself drawn into a mystery he doesn’t yet understand.

With the help of Mags, a clever and watchful magpie, Stan begins to uncover clues hidden in plain sight. A dusty logbook, strange signals, and a message that seems to be calling for help…

But solving the mystery will take more than just looking—it will take looking more closely.
