Aviation museum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
The Saqr Al Jazeera Aviation Museum (or Royal Saudi Air Force Museum) Arabic: متحف صقر الجزيرة للطيران) is located on the East Ring Road of Riyadh between exits 10 and 11.[1] A Lockheed L-1011 Tristar formerly operated by Saudia serves as a gate guard visible from the ring road.
The museum presents the history of the Royal Saudi Air Force from its establishment in the 1920s to the present day.
The museum comprises an outdoor static park and a large and modern indoor museum.
