Swedish Air Force Museum, Military aviation museum at Malmen Airbase, Sweden
The Swedish Air Force Museum at Malmen Airbase houses a collection of helicopters and aircraft spanning different eras. The exhibition spreads across multiple levels, displaying models from early machines to modern combat jets.
The museum began in 1984 as a squadron exhibition and later grew into a major institution dedicated to Swedish military aviation history. The 2010 expansion allowed it to showcase aircraft and objects spanning a century of flight.
The museum showcases the evolution of Swedish aviation through aircraft, uniforms, and equipment that represent generations of pilots. Visitors can see how technology and design changed over the decades.
