Museo Aéreo Fénix

Museo Aéreo Fénix at Alfonso Bonilla Aragón Airport assembles preserved aircraft and aviation artifacts alongside antique vehicles and other mechanical history. The mixed transportation exhibits illuminate Colombian flying schools, commercial aviation and regional air operations. The aviation component emphasizes surviving vintage Colombian trainers, transports and light aircraft in a transport-history environment. The official museum collection highlights the Piper Cub family, while a municipal tourism catalog names several larger airframes. Models drawn from the municipal source are cataloged without claiming that each remains on public view today. The aircraft records are selected documented collection entries rather than a complete inventory. An aircraft may be temporarily away from the museum, held in storage, undergoing restoration, or represented by a replica or partial airframe. An unknown display status does not mean the aircraft can be seen during a visit. Confirm opening arrangements and specific aircraft access with the institution before traveling.
