Flieger-Flab-Museum, Technology museum in Dübendorf, Switzerland.
Description
The Flieger-Flab Museum is an aviation museum in Dübendorf housing more than 40 aircraft and helicopters organized across seven thematic areas. The collection spans from early wooden planes to modern jet fighters, showing how aircraft design and technology changed over many decades.
History
The museum opened in 1978 after Hans Giger worked with the Swiss Military Department to establish a dedicated space for preserving aircraft. This founding moment marked the start of systematic conservation of Swiss aviation history in a single location.
Culture
The collection shows how Switzerland built its air force and the role aircraft played in the country's defense strategy over time. The exhibits reflect what aviation meant to the nation and how it shaped Swiss technological progress.
Practical
The museum sits on a military airfield and is easy to spot from a distance, though visitors should expect to walk between different groups of aircraft on the grounds. Comfortable shoes are helpful since much of the collection is displayed in outdoor areas.
Did you know?
The museum operates a flying Junkers Ju-52, one of the few still-active examples of this transport aircraft type in the world. Visitors can take actual flights in this 20th-century plane during certain occasions, experiencing firsthand what travel felt like decades ago.
