In 1997 interested parties at Hässlö Airport Västerås formed an umbrella organisation to run Västerås Aircraft Museum. The mu- seum is housed in a hangar from the 1930s. The hangar itself is an interesting wooden construction built for use as a Swedish Air Force maintenancebase, just before WWII. The majority of the aircraft shown are in flying condition. However, there are also some ex Swedish Air Force equipment on static display, J29 Tunnan, A32 Lansen, J35 Draken, AJ37 Viggen and a Huey helicopter. Among the flying equipment you will find Hawker Hunter(two-seater), Vampire, Pemb- roke,Harvard, SeeBee, Pitts S-2B, Piper Apache, Piper Cub, Tiger Moth, a Brantley helicopter, Avid Amphibian, Jak 18, Jak 52, AN-2, AC164, DC-3 and De HavillandHeron |
We have also a Simulator unit where vi- sitors can testfly a J 35 Draken,a Con- vair Metropolitan, a DC10 and a Linktrai- ner. There is a small café and a little shop. The Museum is run by volunteers as a non profit association. Opening hours are Sundays 12:00 -16:00. Groups can be booked for other hours through contacting persons in our start page.
