Flyhistorisk Museum, Sola, Aviation museum in Sola Municipality, Norway.
Description
Flyhistorisk Museum in Sola is an aviation museum near Stavanger Airport that holds a collection of about 30 aircraft from different eras. The exhibition spans three specialized halls displaying military jets, civilian planes, and machines from World War II.
History
The museum was established in 1984 and uses a former aircraft hangar built by Germans during World War II when the facility served as a Luftwaffe maintenance center. This building demonstrates the airport's significant role during the occupation period.
Culture
The collection reflects how aviation shaped this region and serves as a gathering place for those interested in aircraft and flight history. Visitors observe how machines are displayed and learn from people who work to restore and maintain them.
Practical
The museum operates from April through November with varying hours depending on the season, including limited weekend openings. It is helpful to check exact opening times before visiting since operating hours change with the seasons.

The collection includes rare German aircraft, among them the only surviving Arado Ar 96 and an Arado Ar 196 recovered from the wreck of the sunken cruiser Bluecher. These machines are extraordinary examples of aircraft models that scarcely exist elsewhere today.
