Warbirds in Darwin?
But do they offer adventure flights?
I'm not aware of any commercial warbird flights on offer up here.
The exotics - Harvard, Tiger Moth, Yak 52, AN2 etc - are (I believe) private use only. If you're lucky enough to know one of the owners, you might also be lucky enough to get a trip. Otherwise..............
Just read an interesting book about Darwin in 42. An Awkward Truth by Peter Grose.
Grose covers a wartime story about a yank doing some 50 cal buffalo hunting (four legged variety) with a P40 Kittyhawk... perhaps a modern day Warbird adventure flight tourism idea there...

I thought the Yak was doing adventure flights out of Batchelor. I could be wrong though.
And tinny, there are heaps of buff left to the east of Darwin, a couple of 'fifties' would've come in handy some days.

I couldn't image a nicer spot than Darwhine in the dry season to wrark up the sky in a P51 or something similar.
I'll never forget Guido's Sea Fury echoing all over the town.
Across the harbour zot feet attack on Cullen Bay anyone?
