Exhibits

The highlight of the exhibition is a restored Junkers Ju 52 / 3m , which sank in 1940 in Hartvikvann near Narvik in Norway during World War II . It was lifted again in 1986 and returned to Dessau in 1995. In exchange, a MiG-21PFM (tact. Number: NVA 891 / Bw 22 + 37) was delivered to Norway. Today this aircraft belongs to the "Norwegian Armed Forces Museum / Forsvarsmuseet" in Oslo. Currently not on display.

Outside the hall, other exhibits can be viewed, including the remains of a wind tunnel from 1934, a compensation area for adjusting the on-board instruments from 1935, an Il-14 passenger aircraft from Dresden and refrigerated wagons from the Dessau wagon construction company . You can also visit several civil and military aircraft and a police helicopter from the former GDR on the outside area .

Except for the Il-14, the machines on display in the outdoor area are in urgent need of restoration.

All aircraft and helicopters shown have been taken over from the holdings of the air sports department of the police sports club "PSV 90 eV Dessau", which was dissolved in 2000 .
