Darwin Aviation Museum

The Darwin Aviation Museum is a hangar housing historic aircraft and engines spanning different time periods. The collection documents the progression of aviation technology and its role in the region's development.

The museum preserves memories of the 1942 Japanese air raids on Darwin, which brought war directly to Australian soil. These attacks reshaped the region's place in national history.

The museum displays aircraft that shaped Australia's aviation history across different periods and purposes. Visitors can observe how flight technology has influenced the region's development and identity over time.

The site is straightforward to navigate with plenty of time needed to view the various aircraft and displays. Visitors should be prepared for changing weather conditions and wear suitable clothing.

The museum houses one of only a few B-52G Stratofortress bombers located outside the United States, obtained through a permanent loan arrangement. This aircraft represents a rare presence of this significant military machine in the Southern Hemisphere.
