The Australian Aviation Heritage Centre displays aircraft and aircraft engines of relevance to Northern Territory and aviation in Australia. It is located in Darwin, Northern Territory.
The Museum's origins can be traced to 1976 when a group of enthusiasts sought to preserve aviation relics after the destruction of Cyclone Tracy. The present museum was opened in 1990. [1]
