Israeli Air Force Museum, Military aviation museum in Be'er Sheva, Israel.

The Israeli Air Force Museum stands beside Hatzerim Airbase in the Negev desert west of Be'er Sheva. Its long, low building has a pale facade and a darker roof band, with a wide open hangar-like bay behind columns; a taller blocky section with a thin projecting roofline rises to its left. Aircraft are parked on the paved apron in front.

The museum was founded in 1985 and opened to the public in 1991 as a central repository of Israeli air history. It developed under Brigadier General Yaakov Turner's direction and grew into a major archive of aircraft from different periods.

The museum is staffed by serving Israeli Air Force soldiers, and during Passover and Independence Day active aircraft such as the F-15I Ra'am, F-16I Sufa and AH-64 Apache are put on display, with flyovers and activities for children. Aviation enthusiasts have criticised the repainting of aircraft in schemes they never carried.

The site is located in Be'er Sheva and easily accessible by car with parking available on-site. Wear comfortable shoes since you will walk through both outdoor and indoor areas with limited shade coverage.

The MiG-21 on display, numbered 007, is painted in the markings of the jet smuggled out of Iraq in Operation Diamond, not a 1966 flight. Nearby partial remains include the tail of a Syrian MiG-17 shot down over the Sea of Galilee in 1966.
