TheHellenic Air Force Museum was founded in 1986 and since 1992 has been located onDekelia Air Base inAcharnes north of Athens. In opposition to theWar Museum of Athens it displays air force history and is active in restoring and presenting old aircraft. Most aircraft in the collection come from theHellenic Air Force; some were exchanged with other European aircraft museums.
The HAF Underwater Operations Team (KOSYTHE) helped recover some rare aircraft from underwater for the museum: aBristol Blenheim, aJunkers Ju 52/3m and aJunkers Ju 87.
The museum is open to the public on weekends. School groups may visit on other days with prior approval.[1]
