Päijänne Tavastia Aviation Museum

The Päijänne Tavastia Aviation Museum displays numerous aircraft and aviation equipment inside a renovated hangar at Lahti-Vesivehmaa airport.

The Finnish Air Force began storing decommissioned aircraft at this location in 1948, with 44 wooden aircraft initially placed in hangar number 4.

The Lahden Ilmasilta guild association maintains the museum's collection, preserving Finland's aviation heritage through careful restoration and documentation of historic aircraft.

The museum opens on weekends from June through August, between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with special arrangements available for group visits outside regular hours.

The museum houses the world's last complete Blackburn Ripon IIF aircraft, alongside rare models such as the Caudron C.59 and I.V.L. K.1 Kurki.
