Those of Us Who Flew During the Cold War

New hall and exhibition opened June 2024.

The exhibition focuses on the personal stories of Norwegian military pilots from their time serving in the Norwegian Armed Forces during the Cold War between 1945 and 1991. The exhibition is based on an ongoing doctoral thesis by Sondre B. Hvam, Curator NMF at the Jærmuseet museum.

The exhibition features all fighter aircraft used in Norway, with the exception of the F-16, which we hope to add in the future:

  • Vampire
  • T-33 T-bird
  • F-84G Thunderjet
  • RF-84F Thunderflask
  • F-5 Freedom Fighter
  • CF-104 Starfighter
  • F-86K Sabre
  • F-86 F Sabre
