Explore the fascinating journey of Iceland’s 100 years of aviation history. The Icelandic Aviation Museum was formed in 1999 and opened its doors on the 24th of June in 2000. Its goal is to preserve the history of flying in Iceland, to record the stories of those who have taken part in this and to promote the importance of aviation in our country. In addition to an interesting variety of aircraft and artefacts, there are photographic displays that depict various facets of aviation history. Also on display are ultra-lights, aircraft engines, model aircraft, airport equipment, a flight simulation trainer and much more. Together the exhibits illustrate the story of Icelandic aviation in a lively way. Of interest to many, are artefacts recovered from the wreck of a British R.A.F Fairey Battle which crashed in the mountains to the wast of Akureyri in 1941? The Icelandic Aviation Museum is a living entity in constant renewal, with many of the aircraft still actively in use and flying.
