Based at Montélimar aerodrome, the European Fighter Aviation Museum follows the transformation of military aviation through piston aircraft, postwar jet trainers, fighters and international aircraft types. Its preservation work is visible alongside a varied outdoor aircraft collection.

The collection emphasizes european jet fighters, Cold War combat aircraft, international jet trainers and preservation work. The museum describes nearly 80 aircraft, although its aircraft fact sheets also include a detached DC-7 cockpit and an assortment of aviation equipment. This batch records named aircraft types without treating every listed type as necessarily accessible on a particular visit.

Entries below are source-backed selections, not necessarily the complete collection. A museum may have an aircraft on loan, under restoration, stored away from public areas, or temporarily absent for a flying event. Where display status is unknown, it is not a promise that the aircraft can be seen on a visit. Check current admission arrangements and specific aircraft access with the institution before traveling.
