Museo Aeronáutico de la Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya, Aviation museum in Canelones Department, Uruguay.
The Museo Aeronautico de la Fuerza Aerea Uruguaya is an aviation museum holding nineteen military aircraft in its collection. The planes include DC-3, T-33, F-80, Westland Wessex, and AT-11 Kansan models displayed in hangars and outdoor spaces.
Colonel Jaime Meregalli organized the first aeronautical exhibition at the Military Aeronautics Command before the facility officially opened in 2013. This founding marked the beginning of a dedicated place to document and preserve Uruguay's aviation history.
The museum reflects the development of Uruguay's aviation through its collection of aircraft that served the nation over decades. Visitors can see how the country's approach to aviation evolved and what role these machines played in its history.
The facility welcomes visitors with advance arrangements, and scheduling a visit ahead of time helps ensure proper access and guided experiences. Planning your trip in advance allows you to make the most of your visit to the collection.
A restoration workshop inside the museum actively preserves historical aircraft such as a Stinson 108-3 Voyager and a Curtiss SNC-1 Falcon. This workshop lets visitors watch specialists maintain these old machines and keep their history alive for future generations.
