Aviation Museum

Join us at the Finnish Aviation Museum and look around. In this 8K 360° video you stand among historic aircraft as if you were there yourself. ✈️

We walk through the museum halls, and along the way a museum guide tells stories about the aircraft and Finnish aviation history. You'll hear how a Soviet I-16 fighter ended up as a Finnish trainer, why the Tuisku has a small propeller on its lower wing, how Kar-Air's Lodestar was used to prospect for minerals, and how Finnair navigated its DC-8 across the Atlantic before GPS. The guide also shares his own gliding memories, and we see the Vampire Trainer, the Draken and the MiG-21, plus a genuine DC-3 built in 1938.
