Nice place to see history of IAF. Exposition is very nice! Is next to the airbase so you can see if you happy flying jets. Exposition of Air Defence was closed :( Please do something with toilets!!!

Let's start with the positive. This museum is a real gem collection. If you are a fan of military aviation, it is more than worth a visit. Large assembly of historic and some contemporary IAF aircraft, some of which have incredible histories on their backs - one of two surviving Lavi prototypes, an F16 with the largest no. of kill marks of any comparable aircraft, the Iraqi MIG flown by a defector, just to name a few.

But this is where it gets really bad - for an air force with such a remarkable history and so many amazing aircraft, this museum should be a neatly showcased show of pride. Instead, it is the complete opposite.

The aircraft are rotting away in the desert sun. Information plaques from the 90s, if there are any at all. The aircraft you can enter - except for the Tzukit trainer, no remaining controls or anything - where's the fun in that? The cockpit of the B707 isn't accessible at all. An enterable transport chopper with a broom in the corner, as if sending a message.

An unclear museum layout - it turns out there are 2-3 more large areas where aircraft are standing besides the main one. No guiding signs there or anything - no one notices these areas are even there. A section with anti-aircraft guns is closed off. The small bird zoo - a nice concept, but it looks neglected and hidden away. Visibly bored IAF recruits serving as guides. And at the end, the museum shop - a flat joke. A bunch of kiddie stuff and nothing else. They could take a page or two out of the museum shop in Latrun, for instance. Seriously, an aircraft museum and no serious military literature or aircraft models in the shop?

As someone who worked in museums and has an interest in museum pedagogics and education, this place is a house of shame for the IAF. It looks and feels like an aircraft graveyard/storage area that happens to be publicly accessible, not like a museum. Significant investment and overhaul are a necessity and that's an understatement. I enjoyed my visit for one reason only - the airplanes. Those are what I came for. But they do not deserve to be showcased like this.

This museum features all different planes used in the IAF. Mostly outside, so make sure to go in good weather. Have some planes that young children can go in but mostly better for older kids and adults.

Interesting exhibition of old military planes and occasionally a demo flight over the area. 1.5 hrs spent well.

A lot of history and amazing collection of military jets that trace Israeli conflicts from humble beginnings in the War of Independence to mighty power payrolling Middle East today. Really needs a cleaning and a new coat of paint and some TLC but it is still pretty cool.

If you love jets and other flying objects, this is the place for you. There's no real escape from the sun overhead, so plan and dress appropriately. No steps or other obstacles to navigate. Small playground and tiny zoo on site as well.
