Very well done museum. Also possible to get inside of some planes. Kids loved it.
Very interesting overview of the history of the Finnish Air Force, from biplanes to jets, with a comprehensive collection of aircraft. Great to see rarer planes like the Magister and the Draken, and the huge scale model collection upstairs is a hidden treat. They have three cockpits open to go inside - amazing to sit in a MiG-21! There's a well stocked museum shop too, with some rare model kits to buy that represent the whole history of the Ilmavoimat. The only downside was that not all the displays were available in English.
Lots of old planes, good stories, wide selection of air defence stuff. Unfortunately simulator was closed when we visited, I bet that must have been fun.
Very good place!
Finland has a rich and varied aviation history. This museum has a wide array of aircraft reflecting the diversity of the Finnish air force fleet. Aircraft from the USA, Russia, UK, Sweden, France, Germany and perhaps more! The exhibitions bring the aircraft to life and give an in depth look into the Finnish contributions during WW2 and the cold war. A great way to spend an afternoon for the whole family!
Very good museum, a definite recommendation for other international visitors.
I visited the museum now in August 2019. The environment outside the museum is messy so when I entered the exhibition hall my expectations were exceeded. The time for the World Wars is well represented and you can get a good insight into the development of technology in the aviation industry at that time. If people had spent as much resources on human welfare instead of developing weapons; what would the world look like today?
