Step into the hall with the very first Dutch jet fighter, a Gloster Meteor. With light and sound you are told everything about this special aircraft. This is followed by the large exhibition hall, where you can admire 3 more historic aircraft: the Fokker S.14 Machtrainer, the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter and the Hawker Hunter.
