Luftfarhtmuseum Finow 2.6 (EDAV)

A very good museum, although I think a car is needed to get there, very little public transport.

Very nice!
I've not been to these two museums - looks like i need to add them to the list!
I thought I had been to Finow a few years back, and just seen a couple of preserved aircraft. Is this a fairly new collection?

Have you been to the huge Luftwaffe museum at Gatow? That's definitely worth a visit too if anyone is going to Berlin.
Cheers

[gtf4j2m]

Yes, I went to Gatow in 2014 and posted some photo's at that time. I also went there on this trip but only logged what I needed. I will create a thread and put some photo's on at some stage. The museum at Finow has been running for a few years, not sure of the exact date. Difficult to do either museum except by car or organised trip.

The museum at Finow partially opened in September 1992 on the former Soviet Mig 29 base, and was fully opened in 1993. I last visited on a wrecks & relics bash around the Berlin area in 2002 since when the Mi2 and SU22M have arrived. Even now, the real identity of the Mig 17F seems still to be unknown. It carries bort '08' but this was apparently applied by the Technical Training Centre at Bad Duben where it served as an instructional frame before it was acquired by Finow in around 1996. It carries partial c/n 0630 but cant tie this to any known Mig 17F.

Great log and pictures, many thanks for sharing. Would like to get over to Germany some time next year, lots of nice fields and museums as seen here. Thanks again

The technical school at Bad Duben clearly had a thing about the number 8. Looking back I see that in addition to painting it on the Mig 17 they also seem to have done the same to the Mig 23S which is now at Finow. Its former Soviet bort number was 87 until they got their hands on it. 23S' are a rare variant, and this former Soviet AF example never actually flew with the AF of the former DDR though they acquired it back in 1979.

Thanks for the info Dave, I will amend my logs accordingly
