The Finnish Aviation Museum (http://ilmailumuseo.fi/en/) is a lovely little museum, I visited one day when I had a few hours to spare at Helsinki-Vantaa airport. It’s about a 2km walk from the terminals. It has a diverse selection of interesting civil and military aircraft, about half of Finnish origin. For glider pilots it’s particularly worthwhile, as they have a collection of Finnish PIK gliders, including the prototypes of the PIK-20 and what became the PIK-20E, as well as a variety of vintage gliders from around the world that had belonged to Finnish glider clubs. Well worth the walk…
