Västerås Flygmuseum, Aviation museum in Västerås, Sweden.

Västerås Flygmuseum occupies the CVV hangar at Västerås Airport, the former F1-Hässlö air force base. It displays nearly 30 aircraft and helicopters, all but five airworthy, plus engines, instruments and models. Five working simulators are built around real cockpits, including a Saab 39 Gripen, a J 35 Draken, a Convair CV440 Metropolitan, a McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and an Airbus A320.

Västerås Flygmuseum began operating in earnest in 1999 after preliminary studies, in the CVV hangar of the former Västmanlands flygflottilj (F 1) base at Hässlö, with roots dating to 1997. Founding associations included the F1 kamratförening and Swedish Veteran Wing; Eskilstuna flygmuseum moved here from Kjula in 2004. The collection has grown to nearly 30 aircraft and helicopters, all but five airworthy.

The museum grew out of several aviation associations: the F1 comrades' association, Swedish Veteran Wing, Eskilstuna Flygmuseum (moved here in 2004), Vallentuna Aviator Association with its Douglas DC-3, and Hässlö Flygförening, founded in 2004. In early summer some years it holds open-house flight days, when many of the aircraft, most of them airworthy, are flown.

Access is mainly available on Sundays, though group visits can be arranged at other times with advance notice. It is wise to confirm opening hours before planning your visit.

The facility operates working flight simulators, including models of historic aircraft types, that are actually used for pilot training. These simulators let visitors experience the flight controls that earlier generations of aircraft required.
