Museo Aeronáutico de la Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya

Museo Aeronáutico de la Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya, Aviation museum in Canelones Department, Uruguay.

The Colonel Jaime Meregalli Aeronautical Museum occupies a hangar and two outdoor thematic halls at the General Cesáreo Berisso Air Base, beside the Carrasco International Airport terminal in Ciudad de la Costa. Its displays cover Uruguayan and world flight history with aircraft, documents, scale models and simulators, including sections on PLUNA, CAUSA and ARCO and on the first Uruguayan aviators.

Jaime Meregalli began collecting aviation memorabilia in 1941 at the Boiso Lanza military airfield. The museum was officially created by Executive Resolution No. 14,272 on 18 August 1954, with Meregalli as its first director. It moved to the Cesáreo Berisso Air Base in 1956 and, after several relocations, opened a new hangar there on 4 December 2013. A 1997 fire destroyed irreplaceable aircraft, including PLUNA's first plane, a De Havilland DH.90 Dragonfly.

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.
