Photographer’s Note

Here I show the Aerospace Museum (Museu Aeroespacial - Musal)located at West Zone of Rio de Janeiro City.

Musal is the largest and most important museum of aviation in Brazil. Located in Campos dos Afonsos, birthplace of aviation in Brazil. The museum was inaugurated on 18 October of 1976.

Maintained and administered by the Brazilian Air Force and also support by Embraer.

The collection consists of various aircraft, engines and weapons, as well as extensive historical documentation on the Brazilian aviation. On permanent display, there are 80 aircraft, including an exact replica of the 14 Bis, the first airplane built. Has 12 theme rooms and an auditorium capable of screenings of films.

Some days of the year on the out side houndred of people went there to see air shows with the Smoke Squadron.

On the WS another view showing some mountains that I will upload a photo another day.
