If you grew up in the 60's or 70's and before noses were glued to electronics, you more than likely made an airfix kit of one of these aircraft. I know I certainly did and spent many very happy hours doing so. It is a crying shame that they are exposed to the elements and slowly decaying. The mk XVI spit is outside with its canopy half open and is rotting. I nearly cried at the state of the Jag and Harrier.....never mind their old foes mig 21's and more. however it is cool to get up close and peer into cockpits most of which are unusually fully intact including gunsights. The museum will regret not looking after these exhibits in time when they will be worth fortunes.

This is off the beaten track which is a shame as this collection shows aviation advancement from the perspective of the other side of the Iron Curtain. There are so many Eastern Bloc aircraft here lined up in chronological order so that you can trace each planes lineage (so many MIG's). The signs are in Polish/English, what was interesting was the facts were so honest including the failures that occurred along the way. I agree that some of the exhibits are looking a little weather worn, they being outside but I found that aspect better instead of shiny planes looking like new. There are also helicopters here and some NATO planes including a Spitfire and Harrier Jump Jet as well as some anti aircraft hardware on show. Unfortunately the hangar where restoration is being carried out was closed to the public due to covid restrictions which was a shame. A nice collection and well worth a visit if you are interested in aviation history. You can spend from an hour and a half to 3 hours here easily.

My wife and I saw this place on the Discover Krakow website and decided to give it a try. Personally I am glad we did, in here is an amazing array of aircraft with everything from training jets to Helicopters. We spent a good three hours there and had a wonderful time wandering about. As most of the aircraft are outside it is a bit overgrown But my wife who has severe walking difficulties had no problems as there are benches scattered everywhere. Being overgrown just makes this place more authentic to me. There is also a quite large interior part where they have uniforms from the Polish pilots who fought with the R.A.F. Plus there are model aircraft on display and some simulators. Unfortunately due to the restrictions around Covid you cannot go inside the craft but this in no way diminished our enjoyment. If you have a few hours to spare go here even if you are not an aircraft enthusiast I'm am sure you will have a good time.
