Museo Nacional de Aeronáutica, Aviation museum in Morón, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The National Aeronautics Museum is an aviation facility built on an operational airfield with hangars and aircraft parking areas. The collection displays about 54 different aircraft types representing generations of airplane design and development.
The museum was founded in 1960 and was originally located near Jorge Newbery Airport before moving to Morón Air Base in 2001. This relocation allowed for a larger collection and improved visitor facilities.
The museum features sections dedicated to aviation pioneers and Argentina's aircraft manufacturing history, showing how the country developed its aviation industry. There is also a special area honoring women in aeronautics and their contributions to the field.
The site can be visited when the airfield is not in active flight operations to ensure safety for all. Visitors should check opening times in advance and prepare for outdoor areas exposed to sun and weather.
The collection holds the Pulqui fighter jets and the Urubú glider, examples of aircraft designed and built by Argentina itself. There is also an aircraft flown by the famous writer and pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, connecting literary history with aviation engineering.
