About Air Force Museum
The South African Air Force Museum is a must see. Let your imagination run wild and experience what it may have been like to fly with the aviators of the past in an impressive range of planes and helicopters from another era.
Aviation has come on leaps and bounds, explore the aircraft that took us though countless wars and made the history books.
The Air Force museum displays articles and records about various flights, information about the aircraft, what they were involved in and the pilots that were lucky enough to fly these magnificent mechanical marvels. The Wings and Wheels Airshow is held here too where you can watch an extraordinary flying display of winged wonders take to the sky as well as a remarkable super, vintage and classic cars show.
The Air Force Museum is based in Ysterplaat. You will also be able to find branches in Pretoria and Port Elizabeth too.
