VH-KDK Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 A question here that only the keenest aviation historian would know the answer to. Where is Australias first international airport located? 1. It is not Brisbane 2. Broome is on the west coast and in the direction of Europe but it is not the one. 3. Cairns would be one of the closest Australian towns flying from the States but not here. 4. Not Melbourne as it is too far from the north. 5. Well here it is and I am going to do a short flight to Delamere. 6. This is a delightful freeware on the OZx site by eliassmith02. The roo is very animated enjoying a good scratch. 7. 8. It is on the Stuart Hwy south of Darwin in the Northern Territory. 9. AP engaged and the GPS turns the C-47 on track to Delamere10. This is all we see for the next 170km so set speed to X4. 11. Overflying Delamere and preparing to land. 12.A nice smooth landing at Delamere.12a. End of the flight. over the outback.So Australia's first International Airport is at Daly Waters! Here is the history of Daly Waters airport https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daly_Waters_Airfield Here is a link to the YDLW airport on the OZx site. http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/5369-ydlw-daly-waters-northern-territory/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
