Flieger-Flab-Museum Dübendorf

The Flieger-Flab-Museum at the historic Dübendorf airfield preserves the evolution of Switzerland’s air-defense aircraft and anti-aircraft forces. It ranges from wood-and-fabric trainers to Cold War Mirage jets and domestic aircraft developments. The collection places particular emphasis on swiss Air Force fighters and trainers, Swiss-built prototypes, civil utility aircraft, and national air-defense technology. The airfield heritage and aviation exhibits are open to visitors subject to published schedules. A specialist photographic inventory provides individual airframe details but some aircraft have been moved or are not currently in public galleries. Aircraft listed below are selected documented collection or exhibit entries, not a complete museum inventory. Individual aircraft may be stored, loaned, undergoing restoration, or inaccessible during renovations. Where the evidence does not establish their current location on public display, display status is marked unknown. Verify visit arrangements and individual exhibit access directly with the institution before traveling.
