As an innovative technical hobby centre, the Estonian Aviation Museum (EAM) promotes engineering education. Above all, the activities of the EAM are aimed at young people – school and university students, Defence Forces members and young families. The exhibition includes 25 aircraft representing European and US aviation technology, as well as anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft cannons and representatives of all the surface-to-air missiles which were located in the territory of Estonia during the Soviet era. The model collection includes more than 400 high-quality aircraft, helicopters and missiles.
