Danmarks Flymuseum

Danmarks Flymuseum at Stauning Airport is both a national flying-history collection and a working place of aircraft preservation. The collection traces Danish experimentation and manufacture, from Ellehammer and the KZ designs through the Tiger Moth and several generations of Royal Danish Air Force aircraft. A visitor can move from home-built and civil designs to the Spitfire, Sabre, Starfighter and F-16 without leaving the same museum. The museum publishes a useful numbered inventory that identifies registrations and uses separate symbols for exhibition, airworthy aircraft and restoration projects. The Air Archive records 73 aircraft or glider entries from that list; an additional Chipmunk explicitly marked as sold in 2023 is excluded. Several entries are replicas, and the display or restoration categories should be checked before a visit.

The museum

The museum at Stauning Airport follows Danish flight from early pioneer designs to Cold War jets. The aircraft are preserved in hangars by a volunteer community with an interest in keeping some aircraft flying.

What to expect

Start with the pioneering machines and the line of KZ aircraft, whose history is central to Danish aircraft design. Then compare the Spitfire with the jet fighters and the helicopters. The different types of airframe and museum restoration work make this a useful visit even when flying demonstrations are not taking place.
