The Museum of Aviation (formerly the Yugoslav Aeronautical Museum) was founded in 1957 in Surčin, Belgrade. The museum is located adjacent to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport. The current facility, designed by architect Ivan Štraus, was opened to the public on May 21, 1989.
History
Construction of the present building of the museum began in the mid 1970s. The works dragged on, so it was only in the late 1988 that the setting of the first permanent exhibition began. The museum was ceremonially open in 1989.[1] In 1975 JAT, the national flag carrier, donated 48 a (52,000 sq ft) of land for the museum and the museum later purchased further 2.7 ha (6.7 acres).[2]
The museum owns over 200 aircraft previously operated by the Yugoslav Air Force (both Royal Yugoslav Air Force and Yugoslav Air Force ), Serbian Air Force , and others, as well as aircraft previously flown by several civil airliners and private flying clubs. It also owns the only known surviving example of the Fiat G.50.[3] The most valuable collections are housed in geodesic glass building, with additional aircraft displayed on the surrounding grounds.
The museum also displays wreckage of a downed United States Air Force F-117 Nighthawk and F-16 Fighting Falcon, both shot down during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999. In addition, the collection consists of more than 130 aviation engines, more radars, rockets, various aeronautical equipment, over 20,000 reference books and technical documentation as well as more than 200,000 photographs.
Collection
New 'Rocket and Radar' museum exhibition will be constructed.
Existing missiles and radars in museum:
- P-15 Termit
- S-75 Dvina
