Discover the rich cultural heritage of Australia''s Northern Territory with the Aviation Combo Ticket, offering access to two of the country''s premier aviation attractions - the RFDS Darwin Tourist Facility and the Darwin Aviation Museum.
Begin your journey by exploring the RFDS Darwin Tourist Facility, where you''ll be greeted by a life-size hologram of John Flynn, the founder of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, sharing his inspiring story. Step inside a fully-equipped decommissioned RFDS Pilatus PC 12 aircraft and learn about the vital work of the pilots, engineers, doctors, and nurses who provide critical medical care to those living in remote areas.
Next, immerse yourself in the story of the Bombing of Darwin Harbour, which took place on February 19, 1942. Experience cutting-edge hologram cinema technology and a virtual reality recounting of the events on that fateful day. Witness the Japanese air attack on the harbor through a projection window and gain a deeper understanding of the impact this event had on the people of Darwin.
At the Darwin Aviation Museum, learn about the region''s rich aviation history and wartime experiences through an impressive presentation of the bombing of Darwin and the only known color footage of the first air-raid in Darwin. Discover the epic flight of Ross and Keith Smith in the Vickers Vimy in 1919, Bert Hinkler, Dick Smith, and the National Coastwatch service. Admire the collection of 19 Civil and Military Aircraft, including a B-25 Mitchell Bomber, a replica Spitfire, and a Royal Australian Navy Wessex helicopter.
As you explore these two unique attractions, you''ll gain a deeper appreciation for the cultural significance of aviation in the Northern Territory.
