Fokker aircraft are included in museums in several countries around the world.

They are in aviation museums, but also in museums of technology, war museums, and private collections.

The museum where most of the Fokker aircraft are on display is the Aviation Museum Aviodrome in Lelystad, where it has been located since 2003.

The history of this museum, however, goes back to 1955, when KLM and the Fokker factory established the “National Aviation Museum Foundation”, which culminated in the opening of the first aviation museum in 1960.

The so-called Aeroplanorama at Schiphol East already had three Fokkers: the Spin, the F7a and the CV.

The aircraft in the drawing above, with the exception of one, are still owned by the current Aviodrome.

That one, the Spitfire (bottom right), is part of another, English, organisation, and is still flying!

The collection, much larger than the eight aircraft on display, forced the organization to build a much larger space. The Aeroplanorama closed in 1967, only to reopen in 1971 as the brand-new Aviodome at Schiphol Center. The striking new building, a 24-meter-high geodesic dome with a 60-meter span, was the largest dome in the world for a long time.

However, the Aviodome collection continued to grow, so a larger space had to be found again.

Moreover, the land on which the dome stood was desperately needed for the expansion of Schiphol Center.

The organization was given space near Lelystad Airport and the Aviodrome opened its doors in 2003.

The exhibition space was shaped like an aircraft wing profile.

The rich Aviodrome archive and the aircraft in the collection are a continuing subject of study regarding Fokker history.
