Museum of Hungarian Aviation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Museum of Hungarian Aviation (Hungarian: Magyar Repüléstörténeti Múzeum, Szolnok) is a large museum displaying old military and civilian aircraft and aircraft engines in Szolnok, Hungary. It is located next to the "Lt. Ittebei Kiss József" Helicopter Base of the Hungarian Air Force. The museum started out as the aircraft and technical peripherals collection of the "Kilián György Flight Technical College" in 1973. Since then many things changed but the collection remained, growing always bigger. Originally the museum focused on military aviation but later civil and utility aircrafts were introduced to the collection which is divided into two: the open air part, and a separate indoor area with fascinating weaponry, uniforms and photografic collections.
