History
Founded by Jim Thorn in 1977, Australian Aviation was established as Australian Aviation & Defence Review. The magazine was printed quarterly in 1979, and became monthly in 1990,[1] and maintained regular monthly publication until 2019.
Gerard Frawley succeeded Thorn as managing editor of the magazine in March 2005 [2] after Phantom Media Pty Ltd purchased Australian Aviation. In 2018 the publication was acquired by Aviator Media and Australian Aviation fell under the editorial guidance of Steve Gibbons.[3] Australian Aviation was subsequently purchased by Momentum Media in 2020. Phillip Tarrant is the current editor.
Current Publication
Australian Aviation is available online as well as in print. In 2020 the print distribution was reduced from bi-monthly to four times per year and covers a wide range of aviation-related areas, from civil aviation to defence, safety, airlines, airports, as well as general aviation and aircraft review.
