about 50 planes
The Deutsches Museum has an additional exhibition area at Oberschleissheim.
This area is dedicated to aircraft only and you can also visit the restoration
shop. No planes have been moved from the downtown area to Oberschleissheim,
so it is worth visiting both. The S-Bahn ride to Oberschleissheim is about
3/4 hour, so you need at least a half day there.
Exit Sinsheim on Autobahn 6.
Open daily?
This museum is of the anything that moves variety, but has a strong airfleet.
Several crashes per year on the autobahn are credited to drivers staring
at the aircraft on display.

Hatzerim Air Force Base
Small admission fee
Extensive collection of IAF aircraft from the 1948-49 War of Independence
to the present. Spitfires, Meteor, P-51D Mustang, Ouragon, Mystere, Magister,
Super Mystere, Mirage III, Nesher, Kfir, A-4 Skyhawk, F-4 Phantom, MiG-21
flown to Israel by defector, captured Gazelle, Huey, Noratlas, Lavi, T-6,
707.
Total about 80 aircraft, some unique to this museum.
Also a large collection of anti-aircraft guns, missiles and radars including
an extensive collection of Soviet systems captured from the Arabs.
Hatzerim is an easy day trip from Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other typical
tourist attractions in Israel. The best way to travel is to take the Egged
bus to Beersheba, then take the local bus from Beersheba to Hatzerim. The
total bus fare for a round trip from Jerusalem is about $30.
Warning: this museum is outside and located in a desert. In the summer,
it is brutally hot and sunny. Dress accordingly and bring lots of water
and sunscreen. A small canteen sells drinks, snacks and souvenirs. Since
a visit to this museum can easily consume a full day, bringing lunch is
a good idea.
FURTHER WARNING: Hatzerim is a real IAF base (look overhead to see more
planes) and Israel is at war. DO NOT wander into unauthorized areas. Signs
and other descriptive material are mostly in Hebrew, with a fair amount
of English.
