I figure it only fitting that I make my 300th post about Darwin.
Well hasn't Darwin changed over the past 10 years.........
My memory isn't the best but gone is:-
Executive Air
Wimray
Mimi Air
Wingz North
Arnhem Air
NTAS
Batchelor Air Charter
Darwin Aero Club
Ownership Changes / Newbies:-
Air Frontier - twice
Anindidlyakwa Air - plus several management tussles
Wimray - Air Ngukurr
Batchelor Air Charter - NAC
NTAS - NAC
Northern Air Charter
Eastland Airlines
Darwin Flight Standards
The only rocks appear to have been Hardy, Pearl & Air North. Without Exec's Air North went through the roof and then their was Dili and silly the rest is history...
Even though there are changes it always appears to be the same wheel turning, someone closes its doors and someone else takes over, someone is sacked (or made redundant) and appears down the road. I geuss the this thread and a previous thread by Sheep Guts got me curious as to how many people have used Darwin as a stepping stone to bigger and better things. Yes I am biased from my chair and I do love Darwin and the NT.
The point of the reply is not to engage in a slander match, I am generally curious about the history of Darwin GA as I have only been here for a very SMALL portion of it. Mind you I used to love watching Air North's DC3 coming into Daly River Mission to pick up the school kids.
So to you who know, to you who have been, and for the future Darwinites let the history lesson unfold...........
