Aviodrome, Aviation Museum, Lelystad The Netherlands.
Up to a few years
ago The most interesting Aviation Museum in The Netherlands was based at
Schiphol International Air Port in a dome-like building, it was called Aviodome.
Because the collection was getting to big for the 'dome' they needed a larger
space, and a more convenient situation for visitors to park. (Schiphol is to
busy)
The public has
got a great Aviation museum / theme park to visit in the youngest Dutch province
'Flevoland' with an over 6000 m2 exposition-Hanger, a fantastic widescreen movie
theater, a large open air museum with an exact replica of the first Air Port
departure and arrivals hall of Amsterdam (Now known as Schiphol IAP Amsterdam)
including the air traffic control tower ea from the 20's and 30's.
Aviodrome has
also became the home base for very important historic aviation societies like
The DDA (Dutch Dakota Association) who keep historic aircraft flying like
several Dakota's.
I'm sure that the
start of Aviodrome can be the start of a very special park that can grow into
one of Europe's most interesting places to visit for everyone who has a warm
hart for aviation.
Aviodrome has it's own
website, you can visit it form here
