The museum is situated on the grounds of the historic Morón Airport, which served as the primary international airport for Buenos Aires before Ezeiza was inaugurated.
The collection includes a preserved Gloster Meteor, which was the first jet fighter to enter service in the Argentine Air Force.
It features a dedicated pavilion for the Pulqui II, an advanced jet fighter prototype designed by Kurt Tank in the late 1940s.
Visitors can view the Douglas C-47 that participated in the first Argentine expedition to the South Pole in 1962.
The museum holds rare aeronautical engines, including piston, turboprop, and turbojet variants used across the last century.
The Museo Nacional de Aeronáutica is located within the Morón Air Base in the Buenos Aires province. It houses an extensive collection of vintage military and civilian aircraft significant to Argentine aviation history. The museum is organized into several large hangars, each dedicated to different eras and types of flight technology. Notable sections include early 20th-century pioneers, World War II-era aircraft, and domestically produced jet trainers. The site serves as both a preservation facility and an educational space for aviation enthusiasts. Many of the aircraft on display have been restored to their original liveries. It remains one of the most comprehensive aeronautical collections in South America.
