The VZLÚ Tom-8 (Výzkumný a zkušební letecký ústav - Czech Aerospace Research Centre} was the last Czechoslovak design of a training military aircraft with a piston engine. The programme was cancelled and TOM-8 was rescued in very bad condition from the Children's Psychiatric Hospital in Opařany in July 1967, where it was used to entertain the patients. Unfortunately, during restoration the original unique Praga M-208C engine and electrically adjustable V-421 propeller were lost and were replaced by similar ones from a L-60 Brigadyr.

The A-12 served reliably in the Czechoslovak AF for many years and although 94 were built, no original machine has survived. Therefore, this faithful replica of the A-12 was built in the Trenčín Aviation Repair Works between 1980-82 using original documentation and with a Maybach engine and an original Aero propeller. It is on displayat the Letecké Muzeum Kbely in the standard three-color camouflage from the 1920s, with the badge of Letecky pluk 3 (3rd Air Regiment), which operated at Nitra and from 1928 at Piestany.

The BH-11 prototype first took off on June 17, 1924. The primary customer was the Czechoslovak Air Force, which used the type under the designation B-11, Bš-11 (trainer) and Bk-11 (courier). The BH-11C was the sports version and L-BONK won the air races in the mid-1920s, firstly in Paris and then the Coppa d'Italia, the prestigious race around Rome. It then flew for the Aeroklub Pilsen (as OK-IZZ?) and was stored in the repository of the Museum of West Bohemia, where its condition slowly deteriorated over time. A restoration was completed in 1968 and the plane is now (almost) on display.

The Czechoslovak AF operated a total of six An-24V and when the country split into the Czech and Slovak Republics, four (2904, 5803, 7109 and 7110) went to the newly formed Air Force of the former and two (2903, 5605) to the latter. Two of the Czech frames were immediately put into storage and so the Czech AF only operated two planes (5803, 7109). The type was withdrawn from service on 26 October 2005

The development of a Czech light multi-purpose helicopter began at the end of the 1950s. Hover test flights of the Zlin XZ-35 prototype established that the design was quite successful but that a more powerful engine was required. Installation of the larger, more powerful six-cylinder Avia M-337 engine necessitated the ugly bulge in the nose and the design was named Z-135. It was looking goob but then the Czechoslovak government decided to stop all helicopter development in the country. In 1974 this sinle prototype was handed over to the Letecké Muzeum Kbely for display.

This plane was originally constructed as a DC-3 and delivered to Pan American World Airways in October 1937 as NC18119. It is perhaps more familar as the C-47 that sat on the the grass at Prague airport as the retro CSA aircraft OK-XDM. It is a new exhibit to the Kbely museum but in these fake markings.

Towards the end of WWII, a large number of Bf-109 G and K fighters were abandoned in Czechoslovakia by the retreating German forces. As the original engines were in short supply, the newly formed Czechoslovak AF put them into service with a different powerplant to form the Avia S-199. Between 1947 and 1951, 450 single-seat S-199s as well as 82 two-seat CS-199 trainers were built. The Avia S-199 was the standard Czechoslovak AF fighter until the first half of the 1950 with the last one retired in 1957. This example (cn 178) was restored using parts rescued from a scrapyard in Olomouc in 1969.

As the original engines were in short supply, the newly formed Czechoslovak AF put them into service with a different powerplant to form the Avia S-199. However, this also necessitated that a trainer version be developed and this led to the two-seat CS-199 variant. Between 1947 and 1951, 450 single-seat S-199s and 82 two-seat CS-199s were built. This CS-199 has been retored in the colours it wore whilst serving with the Aviation School Prostějov.

This Czechoslovak Crate entered service with CSA on 3rd April 1958 and flew with the airline until 5th December 1975. It was stored for a long time on the grass at Kbely air base but has now been moved into the museum area for display. The aircraft has been completely stripped and is about to get a new coat of paint in the coming months.
