Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Spread across four acres, this museum displays over 30 combat aircraft including fighter jets, bombers, and helicopters. An indoor gallery houses rare artifacts like the first aircraft flown by the Pakistan Air Force in 1947 and a preserved Chinese F-6 cockpit visitors can sit in.
Destaques: The outdoor park lets you walk right up to retired fighter jets from Pakistan, China, and the US, including a massive C-130 Hercules cargo plane you can climb inside. Touch the battle-scarred fuselage of a Mirage III that actually flew combat missions in the 1971 war, with its original paint and markings still intact.
Dicas de quem conhece
- Head straight to the F-6 cockpit simulator first before others queue up, you can sit inside and work the controls.
- Wear comfortable shoes and bring a hat or umbrella since the aircraft park is fully outdoors with little shade.
- Photography is allowed everywhere, but ask permission before climbing onto any aircraft as some are off-limits.
- Skip the small souvenir shop at the entrance and instead take photos of the detailed aircraft information plaques for free.
