Västerås Flygmuseum

Västerås Flygmuseum is a unique aviation museum located at Stockholm-Västerås Airport, in the historic CVV Hangar on the grounds of the former Swedish Air Force base F1 Hässlö. Established in 1997, it offers visitors a fascinating journey through the history of flight, with a strong emphasis on both military and civilian aviation in Sweden. What sets this museum apart is its impressive collection of over 25 aircraft, many of which are maintained in airworthy condition. Unlike traditional static displays found in most aviation museums, a large number of the planes here—around 40 in total across the collection—are still capable of flight, and several are regularly flown by their private owners. The exhibits include iconic Swedish military jets such as various SAAB models, along with vintage training aircraft, transport planes, and classic civilian machines that highlight the evolution of Swedish and international aviation. Housed in a 1930s-era hangar, the museum creates an authentic atmosphere where visitors can walk among the aircraft, examine engines, equipment, and artifacts up close. In addition to the planes, the museum features an exciting simulator section with several realistic flight simulators. These include options like the J 35 Draken, JAS 39 Gripen, Airbus A320, DC-10, and a classic Link Trainer, allowing guests of all ages to experience the thrill of piloting historic and modern aircraft in a safe, immersive environment.
