The Norwegian Armed Forces’ Military Aircraft Collection at Gardermoen preserves nearly a century of military flying, from the first Norwegian aircraft to the Cold War fighter era. It is a museum about the evolution of a national air force and about the people who operated its aircraft in northern conditions.

The aircraft collection concentrates on norwegian military aviation from 1912 onward, early aircraft pioneers and later NATO jet operations. The armed forces confirm that nearly forty aircraft are preserved at the venue. Specific aircraft should be matched to its object list before claims about the individual aircraft on view are made; the initial record is deliberately small and clearly identified as a selected rather than complete inventory.

The aircraft entries below are selected records from the institution’s own collection pages, not a claim to reproduce its entire inventory. A type shown in a museum catalog is not automatically available for inspection: restoration, loan, operational, and reserve storage arrangements can change. Where the catalog does not establish current public display, these records retain an unknown display status.
