Beautiful collection of aircraft, but it is always sad to see airframes stored in the open air getting weather damaged!

Agree 100% with this statement: visited the museum 2 years ago, and the outside parked aircraft were in a lot better shape, esp. the paint/colours...

Hi...

Nice pics indeed of interesting aircraft.
Too bad that they're in a very bad shape, at leat, the "outside" pics...
Looks like a lot of these pictures are made, using a wide-angle lens.
Is that the only way to get the whole aircraft on the photo?
I ask this because I plan to visit the museum but don't like to use wide-angle for aircraft pictures...

Grtz.

Hi,

It's a nice museum, it is sad that the outside aircraft are in such a poor condition, but the aircraft are just great to see.
Inside the hangars there are also lots of aircraft that are in a much better condition but the lightning inside is poor.
In one hangar there also is a F-4F Phanthom, Tornado IDS and a Mig-29 Fulcrum, they look if they are in a flyable condition.

For the photo's, I used a wide angle lens (18mm+), because else you where seeing the white lines in front of the aircraft, just like with te green camo F-104 Starfighter. But you can also make some pics with a normal lens (35mm+) if someone else is lowering the lines some little bit.

Hi Werner,

I will be in Berlin between september 26 and 29 and are planning on visiting the museum.
Now I have a few questions.
1. How long will i need to go through the museum inside and out?
2. Is there a restaurant in the museum, since I am travelling with someone who can`t walk for long distances at a time. So this person could wait there.
3. Is it a guided tour, or can you walk around by yourself?

Thanks,

Rob.
