Salis Flying Museum
About This Museum
This place is a total gem because it's not your typical static museum; the planes here actually fly. Tucked away in the French countryside near Cerny, it feels more like a living, breathing airfield than a stuffy exhibit hall. You can almost smell the oil and fuel as you walk among these magnificent machines, many of which are still airworthy. It’s a thrilling experience for anyone who loves the roar of an engine and the romance of aviation history.
Collection Highlights
You'll see everything from classic WWII trainers like the Stampe to powerful warbirds, with mechanics often working on them right there in the hangar. The star of the show is often their beautifully restored Douglas DC-3, a true legend of the skies.
Visitor Information
Check their schedule online before you go, as seeing these beauties take to the sky on a flying day is an unforgettable spectacle. It's very much a working airfield, so wear comfortable shoes and be ready for some genuine, hands-on atmosphere.
Architecture & Building
It's housed in a series of no-nonsense, functional hangars that look straight out of a classic airfield, all corrugated metal and massive sliding doors.
