South Moravian certainty that will not disappoint amateurs or experienced pilots

Near the airport in Jihlava, you will find a village with the appropriate name of Větrný Jeníkov. It houses a unique museum dedicated to Czechoslovak airmen who served in the famous RAF.

Visit the oldest military airport in the Czech Republic and its museum
The military airport near Cheb in West Bohemia (and close to the current operational Cheb airport , which allows landings) was established in 1917 and its history is commemorated in a nearby museum . In it you will find, among other things, various models of airplanes or perhaps part of the fuselage of the Hansa - Branderburg C1 aircraft.
František Peřina, South Moravian hero
Morkůvky, an inconspicuous village in southern Moravia between Boleradice Airport and Kraví Hora Airport , houses a museum of the famous lieutenant general and native of Mokrův, František Peřina. The exhibition will introduce you to both his life and his career as a pilot and wartime aviation experience. However, the museum is only open on Sundays, so plan your trip well. And don't forget to equip yourself with a stylish hat .
Go to Prague, the paradise of all aircraft enthusiasts
In the grounds of the historic military airport in Kbely (which, by the way, was the first Czechoslovak air base) you will find a unique aviation museum - its collections are among the largest in Europe.

You can also find part of the exhibition in neighboring Letňany, where other aviation technology awaits you in the area of the old Aerovka, including bombers and modern airplanes manufactured by the company Aero.
