Museu Aeroespacial, Aerospace museum in Realengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Museu Aeroespacial is an aerospace museum in Rio de Janeiro housing more than 100 military and civilian aircraft, helicopters, engines, and technical equipment spread across several hangars. The collection also includes weapons and devices from different periods of aviation history.
The museum was established in 1976 at Afonsos Air Force Base following a government decree from 1973. It was created to document and preserve Brazil's aviation heritage.
The collection features artifacts from Santos Dumont and other Brazilian aviation pioneers who shaped the nation's flying history. These pieces tell the story of people who brought Brazil into the air.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and is located at an Air Force base in Realengo. Guided tours in Portuguese are available for groups and individual visitors exploring the facilities.
Several aircraft in the collection remain airworthy, including rare models like the Beechcraft D17S Staggerwing and Douglas C-47. These machines show that the history here is still living and functional.
