The Malta Aviation Museum is situated on the site of the former RAF Ta' Qali airfield, which played a crucial role during World War II. The museum's hangars house a collection of historic aircraft, including restored fighters like the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane, as well as transport planes and helicopters. Exhibits also feature aviation memorabilia, engines, and photographs documenting Malta's aviation heritage. Visitors can walk among the planes, see restoration work in progress, and learn about the island's strategic importance in the Mediterranean.
