Deutsches Museum - Flugwerft Schleissheim Note: "Flugwerft" is German for the English "aerodrome" Chino visited the German Museum - Aircraft Center in Schleissheim (Deutsches Museum - Flugwerft Schleissheim), a suburb of Munich in 1996. It's next to an old castle and a small airfield that used to be a glider training center in the 1930's (when the German Luftwaffe was forbidden from training pilots by the Versailles Treaty, they formed soaring clubs and trained thousands of glider pilots who later became fighter pilots). I was there in 1996 on a weekend between business in Germany and France. It's quite a nice museum, though the very shadowy lighting was not so great for photos! Early aircraft Post war aircraft Saab Draken VTOL Fiat G91 Links Schleissheim is not far from central Munich (it's near an S-bahn commuter train station). It's part of the fabulous Deutsches Museum of Technology, whose main building is in the city. I'm glad they found more spacious quarters for the aircraft. This museum (both the main building and the aircraft center) is well worth a visit if you are ever in Munich. MiGMan thanks Hans Trauner for additional information. |
