The museum displays nineteen military aircraft, including DC-3, T-33, F-80, Westland Wessex, and AT-11 Kansan models from the Uruguayan Air Force collection.
Colonel Jaime Meregalli established the first aeronautical exhibition at the Military Aeronautics Command before the museum officially opened on December 4, 2013.
The museum maintains a library containing flight manuals, historical books, and a photo archive of over fifty thousand photographs documenting Uruguayan aviation.
The facility opens every Sunday from 14:00 to 18:00, with guided tours available Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 16:00 by prior arrangement.
A restoration workshop within the museum actively preserves historical aircraft, including a Stinson 108-3 Voyager and a Curtiss SNC-1 Falcon.
