Airplane Museum of Szolnok

The Szolnoki Repülőmúzeum ("Airplane Museum of Szolnok") is a large museum displaying old military and civilian aircraft and aircraft engines in Szolnok, Hungary.

It was located next to the "Lt. Ittebei Kiss József" Helicopter Base of the Hungarian Air Force; most of the collection has now moved to premises in the city centre, under the new name of Reptár.

[3] Since then many things changed but the collection remained, growing always bigger.

Originally the museum focused on military aviation but later civil and utility aircraft were introduced to the collection which is divided into two: the open air part, and a separate indoor area with weaponry, uniforms and photographic collections.

The museum also stores the remains of a number of Second World War warplanes shot down over Hungary and it plays a leading role in salvaging and conservation of such wrecks.
