The Military Aviation Museum (Spanish: Museo Militar de Aviación "Teniente Piloto Aviador José Espinoza Fuentes") is located in the facilities of the Santa Lucía Air Base, State of Mexico, it is dependent on the Secretary of National Defense and focuses mainly on the exhibition of historical material of the Mexican Air Force.
The first military aviation museum was created in 1933 on the land where the Eastern Passenger Bus Terminal is currently located. This museum served from 1933 to 1976, the year in which it was demolished to start the construction of the bus station. Since 2000, a part of the hangar used by the 302 Air Squadron was used for the exhibition of historical aerial material[1][2] and which was reopened in 2010 for the celebration of the bicentennial of Mexican Independence and the centennial of the Mexican Revolution.[3][4][5]
Due to the construction of the AIFA, the building was relocated, beginning its construction in October 2020 and being inaugurated on February 10, 2022, on the 107th anniversary of the FAM. Along with this museum, the Mammoth Museum was also inaugurated, whose facilities are located a few meters from the MUMA.[2][5]
