Frequently Asked Questions
Not everyone knows how our museums work, so please browse our frequently asked questions (FAQ) to see if you might have a query that might already have a quick and easy answer.

1. How much is entry to the SAAF Museum?



Answer: Entrance to all SAAF Museum branches is FREE OF CHARGE, but please consider making a donation at the door. All donations received go towards upkeep of the Museum exhibits.



​2. When is the SAAF Museum open to the public?



Answer: All SAAF Museum branches are open from 9:00 - 15:00 Monday to Friday, and 9:00 - 13:00 on Saturdays with the exception of public holidays and special military parades/gatherings. Please reach out to us if you aren't sure of specific dates to avoid disappointment.



3. Do you offer group tours?



Answer: Group tours by the Friends of the SAAF Museum are possible, but best arranged for Saturday mornings. Large school/youth groups visiting wanting to visit during the week need to make special arrangements beforehand.



4. Can we fly in SAAF Museum aircraft? (Eg. during training days at Swartkop)



Answer: No. Aircraft operated by the SAAF Museum Historic Flight are flown exclusively by South African Airforce personnel and do not ferry civilian passengers.

The Elders Flight was held at SWARTKOPS on Saturday
A huge undertaking that brings miles of smiles to those who had the opportunity to experience flight for the first time =D>

Not often that you can see the ZS and matching ZU registered aircraft parked next to each other, totally by chance :D
