The collection places particular emphasis on philippine military flying history, fighters and trainers associated with the Philippine Air Force. Airframes in the museum grounds are separate from nearby operational Philippine Air Force facilities. The historic aircraft references require confirmation of current individual gallery placement before visitors travel for a particular type.
Aircraft listed below are selected documented collection or exhibit entries, not a complete museum inventory. Individual aircraft may be stored, loaned, undergoing restoration, or inaccessible during renovations. Where the evidence does not establish their current location on public display, display status is marked unknown. Verify visit arrangements and individual exhibit access directly with the institution before traveling.
