The collection of the Flyhistorisk Museum Sola includes civilian, military and general aviation aircraft. Stavanger Lufthavn, Sola was the maintenance hub for Braathens S.A.F.E and Helikopter Service. The airport was also an active airforce base for Luftwaffe during World War II and for Royal Norwegian Air Force during the cold war. The museum has primarily concentrated its exhibition around its local history.
The Flyhistorisk Museum Sola has an extensive collection of German World War II aircraft including the latest rollout of a Messerschmitt Bf 109 in june 2020. In addition to what is probably the only remaining, or at least most complete Arado Ar 96, and the airframe of an Arado Ar 196 which was stationed on the German cruiser Blücher when she was sunk in the Oslofjord in April 1940.
The collection also contains an example of every post-war jet that has been with the Royal Norwegian Air Force including some trainers.
In the first half of 2020 the Flyhistorisk Museum Sola will ad a Douglas DC-6B N151 from Everts Air Cargo to their collection.
