Aviation Museums of the World - Austrian Air Force Museum Zeltweg - Austria Travel Guide
Austria is one of many European countries that has a very small air force, however they have flown some interesting types, mostly from Sweden.
Located around a three hour train journey away from Vienna, Zeltweg Aviation Museum can be reached for a daytrip to visit the largest collection in Austria. There are plenty of types not usually seen in Europe such as the Yakovlev Yak 11 and 18, along with a good collection from the SAAB company. These also include the two specially painted Drakens to mark the type's retirement in 2005.

Located right to the east of the country, Vienna has had a long and varied history, though take a trip to the capital city today, and very little of it can be found.

Two beautiful Saab J-35 Draken preserved in great condition and one shows its built!😍 Very well done!👍🏻 And a Fouga Magister, another very much favorite one! I have to visit this museum.
Ive been to nearly all the forts in the UAE The heritage village at Fujairah fort was still being built, its good to see its open now, so i will be going back in winter I watched your video on sakamkam fort too, that was closed when i went due to restoration works , and Kalba fort is open now too, so its on my list 🙂
Good effort young sir !!
Thank you! There will be plenty more aviation museum videos coming soon from other countries I've visited ☺
Living in Norwich theres loads of little aircraft museums scattered around Norfolk !! Thorpe Abotts is properly my favourite
@@MrBig1gaz I haven't been to that airfield before, but I do have videos of both Norwich and the Flixton Air Museums on my channel ☺
The mosque in fijarah is next to my house
That is one fantastic view you have every day then! It was a very impressive mosque to see
little Known fact too, That the first British built prototype Concorde 002/ G-BSST is also owned by the science museum. The Museum purchased it on the 26th July 1976 after it retired from test work. This was before the Science museum set up it's reserve collection at wroughton airfield near Swindon, which has a few airliners like a hawker sidney trident. Given the London site too is too small for an airliner, It was decided that she would go on display at the Fleet Air Arm museum at Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton, where she is still open to the public today. Many think she is owned by the Fleet Air Arm museum but in fact she's still owned by the Science museum.
They definitely would not be able to get a Concorde anywhere near the Science Museum unless they were to keep it in the grounds of the nearby Natural History museum!
Great place to visit
The museum is expanding a bit too at the moment with some other collections being brought in to Norwich!
Brilliant, well worth a visit
Thanks for the comment, it's certainly worth checking out if you're in the area!
You missed umbrella beach!!
It must have been further up the beach as I didn't see much when I got to the coast! 😄
@@traveldan1 yeah it is further up from where you filmed! Shame you missed it, its quite nice 🙂
@@pik-ull-deg5970 I probably should have stayed longer around that area then rather than turning around and heading back! 😄
It’s been two years, I have been working in Fujairah. Feels good to see in the youtube and it’s beautifully recorded.
Thanks for your comment! It is an interesting place to visit, I enjoyed my time there ☺
Nice place
It is a quiet place to visit compared to Dubai, but well worth a journey!

There are 2 runways at Norwich. Numbers 9 and 27. And since April, we have RyanAir doing regular flights to Alicante and Majorca and other destinations. Great video. Thank you and I have subscribed.😊👍🛫🛫
Thanks for following the videos I'm making here! 😁 I've really enjoyed seeing the Ryanair aircraft come in over the last few months, so when I do another video from here, they will feature in it
What day was close
It was a Monday, don't go on a Monday 😄
Excellent video. Great narration. The F-100 and T-33 are ex French Air Force.
Thank you very much! Quite a few of those French aircraft seem to have made it over here
I saw that all world loves Aztecs culture but the same Hispanic man didn’t 😅😅
The Spanish were probably the only other ones who saw what went on inside the temples and that horrified them! 😅
@@traveldan1 yeah 😅
4:08 is clearly a Mig-28 😉
Ah yes, how could I have got that wrong? 🤣
I was on a sun wing from Norwich in may last year, it’s a decent no frills airport, very convenient especially now Ryanair are there.
Useful for the connection to Schiphol too! I'll make use of one of the Ryanair flights one day 😁
great video
Thanks very much! I wonder if the site is all flooded now? 🤔
@@traveldan1 Probably, but the restoration strengthened the materials to prevent any damage. However, many sites which have been neglected may have suffered some loss.
@@creamsicle1678 I did notice that some parts looked to have been restored with modern techniques. There's nothing else around the area other than a lot of rich people's houses from what I remember 😄
Hey Dan. I strongly recommend you to visit Museum Pusat Dirgantara Mandala (Central Aviation Museum of Dirgantara Mandala) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Managed by Indonesian Air Force, it holds numerous of mostly aircraft operated by IDAF. Love your contents. Keep going 😊
Thank you for your kind comment, glad you are enjoying the videos I'm making! 😁 Of course, anywhere in the world there is an aviation museum, I will try to get to it!
Is it free entry or do we need to pay???
It's free to walk around the Roman walls and the priory, but not the castle itself which is run by English Heritage
Thank you
@@shittttttt-ds4ls no problem, thanks for watching!
A touch of Norfolk accent ….. ?
That's right! Tried to hide it but it comes out unwittingly sometimes! 😄
What's that aircraft at starting photo ???
It's a SEPECAT Jaguar, they used to fly from nearby RAF Coltishall
Love vintage military aircraft awesome 😊
Glad to be bringing you them in my videos!
I went there today and I live near Cromer, long drive. But it’s worth it!
If ever you need to travel to the city, always a good excuse for popping in to see the planes! 😄
What is the name of the tour you took?
The tour was arranged through the GetYourGuide website. There are quite a lot of variations of the tours which include other stops - mine also stopped off at a place for a buffet lunch and at a cenote. One that arrives at Chichen Itza as soon as it opens is completely worth it though as the site gets very busy by 10am!
Well done. Pleasant and informative video.
Thanks very much! Seems like a long time ago now that I made this one!
As a young lad my Dad took me a six of my pals to Hendon for my birthday in the late seventies. As we were going to the cafe for lunch a low loader was parked up with a dismantled aircraft on it. I recognised it immediateley as I had one hanging from my bedroom ceiling as part of my model collection. An Me110 I even got close enough to turn the rear tail wheel. Happy days!. Nuff said.
Quite something seeing the 1:1 scale version of a model kit in your collection!
The 1930s Monospar is one that is a unique piece of British aviation history missed in your tour.
There might have been some exhibits missing, I only had a limited amount of time there
There is a picture of a Handley Page 42 airliner being refueled in Cairo. The guy in the picture has a toothbrush mustache. It's not Charlie Chaplin so it must be Hitler! LOL.
Maybe he enjoyed some flights before things got bad around the world? 😄
@@traveldan1 Well, he ws part of the refueling crew so maybe he had to work.
Flights were expensive back then! He's definitely ruined that moustache style for everyone...
@@traveldan1 Ain't that a fact!
I made a visit there about 25 years ago.. ish, i think. Highlight was paying an extra 50p for the luxory of climbing into the cockpit of the Vulcan
I would imagine there is so much more to see here today, but you would probably be paying a bit more than just 50p for the Vulcan entry! 😄
I plane spot lots at Southampton middle wallop bournemouth somtimes you see lots or nothing
Norwich Airport has a website that lists arrivals and departures, so it's easy to know if it's worth taking the trip up there 😁 Will see what other places I could get to for some aviation filming!
I use flight radar
Do army flying museum middle wallop voted best in the uk
That's one museum I've never been to before, so I'll have to take a look if I'm in the area!
It's my local one
I would love more plane spotting and airshows
What a shame so many iconic aircraft at the museum are outside slowly deteriorating. I hope in time facilities will be available to house them all under cover.
The aircraft are well kept at Newark, certainly in better condition than some I've seen at other air museums! Having them housed inside hangars is good, but for photography, a nice blue sky backdrop does look good! 😁
Yes we at HARS have all our iconic aircraft under cover.
@@michaelhayden725 Except for the Roulette's Aermacchi on a pole out the front and the 747, haha. I grew up surfing around Kiama and Shellharbour back in the day and remember when the only thing that you were likely to see at Albion Park was the odd Cessna. I think I need a visit to see the completed Southern Cross.
@@michaelhayden725 HARS as in the Australian museum? If so, greetings from England! 😁
Yeah, I’m surprised the Blackburn Buccaneer wasn’t kept in a hanger. It looked to be in great condition. In our British climate it won’t stay that way much longer.
What a shame that the Battle of Britain Hall was removed. Absolute sacrilege IMO.
It was a good collection, now Cosford has a lot of them!
In the 1950s. My great grandfather was tortured to death by the British and my grandmother survived but she had to run to escape rape, and torture and she managed to hide in a well, gashing and breaking her leg on the descent. She died a few years later in my mothers arms. She [said] that she was lucky that Cyprus has the oldest wells in the world. I know that some British people had nothing to do with invading our homes and land, but there is still some semblance of hate within me towards them. My grandmother found coins from Salamis single-sided silver pieces. The British thieves stole everything. Never let the British people cover Greece and Greek history.
I'm not sure what to say to that, my understanding was that the British were on Greece's side during WW2, then we had not much to do with the country apart from maintaining an airbase on Cyprus post war. There were some dubious characters in the 19th century that siphoned Ancient Greek treasures back to England, but Greece kept most of its history within the country.
Duxford is amazing too
There's a video on my channel of Duxford's aviation museum too if you haven't already seen it 😁
I was lucky enough to see the only Saab J-29 at Coventry yesterday but next year I'm planning on visiting here and seeing the other Swedish jets. The collection seems huge here and yet they are planning on expanding more is just crazy.
I remember seeing the Tunnan too, though it was squeezed in their hangar quite a bit! We are lucky that Britain is pretty good when it comes to aviation museums
Tulum is an overprice environmental shit hole now days
What an excellent museum! I had a great day the Spring 2023 with my boy and grandson. I fully intend to revisit in 2024 sometime. Great vid, thanks!🏴☠️🤘
Sounds like you had a warmer day to visit than I did! 🤣 Thanks for your comment and glad you enjoyed the video!
Great job¡!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video!
Good evening, I am writing to you because I am the knight that you used for the thumbnail of your video. I am François, the blacksmith of Carcassonne. I hope you enjoyed the visit. #LaForgeSousLeTilleul
Bonjour, François! Thank you for your message and I did indeed have a great time exploring the walled city of Carcassonne! Hope it is OK to use the photo in my thumbnail picture? Your outfit just looked that good!
Were you aware that the 100-mission Lancaster was said to be haunted?
I wasn't, no. Is it a crew-member that haunts the plane?
I think it was the Lincoln at Cosford. Buttons said to be moved/clicked but it transpires a similar material in the seats is used for cassette tape recording material and the thought behind it, is that it's actually a recording of switch moves etc.
Awesome mate.! .. I like your attitude saving something is better than nothing👍✈️🇳🇿
Thanks from the other side of the planet! Same with the historical ruins I visit - better to see something left than nothing at all 😊
Another excellent Vlog. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Istanbul is one of my favorite cities to visit! I definitely need to visit more Muslim countries as they are fascinating!
Well done. Your enthusiasm comes through. 👍
Thanks very much! That's something I like doing on my travels - if I know there's an air museum somewhere nearby, I will hunt it out and get there!
Keep it up. It gives people like me an opportunity to see some we may never otherwise get to.
If it's more aviation museums you're looking for, I've got ones from Switzerland, Austria, Czechia and the UAE still to come to the channel!
I'm subscribed so I'll be watching!
Thanks for your support, it's much appreciated!
Brilliant video. Thanks for all your hard work.
Thank you for your kind comment! Plenty more videos on all sorts of subjects coming soon!
Great video! How do you get to the Theodosian Walls from the Sultanahment square using public transportation?
Thank you very much! From the Sultanahmet Square, you'll want the T1 tram heading to Topkapi which is about 10 stops I think
I hope one day in the future they can rebuild these aircraft to make them flyable for people to see.
These aircraft's flying days are long gone now, most that arrive at museums are completely stripped of avionics and engines 😕
I particularly liked the indoor exhibits.
The collection of trainer aircraft were my favourite, some great schemes there!
1:45 Have you considered wearing a hat?
A hat would flatten the spiky hair though! 🤣
