Aeroseum aviation museum, Gothenburg, Sweden (April 2007) - The Aeroseum is a new aviation museum in a former top secret cold war airbase that was built in the fear of the nuclear age. The work the people of Aeroseum have done behind the 180 ton blast proof doors to build up the aviation museum is remarkable. The location itself is a place worth visiting, but the aviation aspect has come along as well - there are quite a few jet and propeller aircraft, helicopters, military vehicles, missles, communication technology, some demonstrations of principles, engines and more. Highly recommended! Read my report for an extensive photo gallery and an account of the visit.

Flying with a glider (September 2007) - After looking at options to fly gliders for a very long time, I almost accidentally ran across an airfield and decided to ask them whether they could take me up in one. Ever since the visit, I have been tempted to get a full licence. Follow the link for some photos and a written account of the visit and flight.

Tartu aviation museum (September 2007) - I never knew that there was an aviation museum right here in Estonia. They have done good things (remarkable even) after it was created in 2002. Check out the account for photos and the list of aircraft that exists there already. I've been e-mailing with the person who's foremostly behind the project and I've understood that they will be adding more planes very soon.

Steven F. Udvar-Hazy museum, an annex of the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum (February 2008) - thanks to the generous private donation, visitors now can see exhibits that used to be stored in warehouses or were croded in elsewhere. Among the top exhibits are the SR-71 by Lockheed Skunk Works, a Space Shuttle, Concorde, Joint Strike Fighter, Tomcat F-14 and many more. It's next to the Washington Dulles International Airport.

Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum (February 2008) - this is the most popular of the Smithsonian museums, which really is saying something. It's in the center of Washington DC and has something for everybody - aviation, space exploration, rockets, missiles, history, play areas for kids, a cinema and what possibly is the most important collection of aircraft anywhere.

London Science Museum (May 2008) - among the popular attractions in London for tourists and locals alike. The building is packed to the brim with milestones of science. Two floors are dedicated to space and aviation.
