Museo de la Historia de la Aviación de Orizaba

The aviation museum in Orizaba uses a retired commercial passenger aircraft as its defining large-scale exhibit. It merits inclusion even without a large collection because the airplane is part of a deliberately interpreted public aviation-history attraction. The aircraft collection concentrates on the evolution of commercial air travel in Mexico and the experience of visiting an airliner transformed into a museum exhibit. The Mexican government museum directory identifies a Boeing 727-200 at this location. The surrounding exhibits include interpretive displays and models, which are not counted as additional real aircraft in this directory. 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.
