Flyhistorisk Museum, Sola (Sola Aviation Museum) is an aviation museum located in Stavanger Airport, Sola, near Stavanger, Norway. The museum was founded in 1984 and is run by local volunteers. Flyhistorisk Museum, Sola went into cooperation with Jærmuseet in January 2012.

Facilities

The museum is housed in an old aircraft hangar at the former seaplane base at Stavanger Airport, built by German labour during World War II.

In the hangar, the museum houses the display, as well as a small café (with interior from a former bar for one of the fighter squadrons stationed at the airport), in addition to a workshop, where currently[when?] an Arado Ar 96, a Caproni Ca.310 bomber, a Heinkel He 115 armed seaplane are under restoration.

Flyhistorisk Museum, Sola is open between noon and 4:00 pm every Sunday from May through November, and daily except Monday in the school summer holiday.

Collection

The collection of the museum includes civilian, military and general aviation aircraft. Stavanger Lufthavn, Sola was the maintenance hub for Braathens S.A.F.E and Helikopter Service. The airport was also an active airforce base for Luftwaffe during World War II and for Royal Norwegian Air Force during the cold war. The museum has primarily concentrated its exhibition around its local history.

The museum has an extensive collection of German World War II aircraft including the latest rollout of a Messerschmitt Bf 109 in June 2020. In addition to what is probably the only remaining, or at least most complete Arado Ar 96, and the airframe of an Arado Ar 196 which was stationed on the German cruiser Blücher when she was sunk in the Oslofjord in April 1940.

The collection also contains an example of every post-war jet that has been with the Royal Norwegian Air Force including some trainers.

The museum houses examples of civilian aircraft, from floatplanes to radial engined airliners. A ex. Braathens S.A.F.E Douglas DC-6 has arrived the airport and will join the collection in August 2020.[1]
