Norwegian Aviation Museum

Norwegian Aviation Museum preserves military aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft and Norwegian passenger and utility aviation.. Located at Bodø, the national aviation museum combines the military defense of northern Norway with the growth of civil air transport, including aircraft associated with Cold War reconnaissance. The museum separates its military and civilian exhibitions and also maintains outdoor and restoration-aircraft sections. The aircraft listing explicitly distinguishes on-view exhibits from the broader collection. The aircraft listed here are selected holdings supported by the linked institutional sources, not a complete inventory; where a source documents collection ownership without specifying the current gallery location, the display status is deliberately left unknown.
