Central Australian Aviation Museum, Aviation museum in Alice Springs, Australia
The Central Australian Aviation Museum houses a collection of historical aircraft, vintage engines, flight instruments, and photographs documenting regional aviation development.
The museum opened in 1977 within the original Connellan Airways hangar, following a tragic incident that prompted local residents to preserve aviation history.
The exhibits demonstrate the essential role of aviation in connecting Indigenous communities across remote regions through medical services and supply deliveries.
The museum welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM and weekends from 11 AM to 4 PM, with parking facilities available.
The museum displays the remains of the Kookaburra aircraft, which crashed in 1929 during a search mission for aviator Kingsford-Smith in the Tanami Desert.
Opening Hours: Lundi-Vendredi 09:00-17:00; Samedi, Dimanche 11:00-16:00
