Darwin Aviation Museum

The Aviation Historical Society of the Northern Territory was established in 1976 by a small group of enthusiasts who sought to preserve aviation relics salvaged after the destruction of Cyclone Tracy. Negotiations were carried out for some time with the United States Air Force and the Northern Territory Government to obtain a Boeing B-52 bomber and to build a museum to house and display it. This was achieved in June 1990 when the new Darwin Aviation Museum was officially opened with a fully refurbished B-52G bomber on permanent loan from the USAF
