The Finnish Border Guards used three Beavers from 1951 till 1988 for border patrol, search & rescue and air ambulance missions, often on floats or skis. This one was retired to the museum in February 1988. The Finnish AF also had three Beavers, but all were lost in accidents.

In my book, the star exhibit in the Finnish Aviation Museum, preserved exactly as it was when removed from Finnair service on 30th April 1980. Delivered new to Aero OY Finnish Air Lines in May 1953 as a CV-340 and converted to 440 in 1956. Challenging in those cramped conditions to get a nice shot, but an extension monopole allowing a high overhead view off the balcony helps considerably.

Over 10,000 Polikarpov I-16s were built in fighter and, like this Finnish survivor, in fighter-trainer configurations from 1934. Some remained in operation in Spain till as late as 1953. Finland's examples were captured Soviet machines from the Winter War period. This rare two-seater, the only surviving example of this variant in the world, was captured in autumn 1941 and served Le.Lv.48 and T-Le.Lv.35 before being placed in store in late 1942.

The sailplane PIK-20 of the Polyteknikkojen Ilmailukerho was success. By using PIK-20B as a basis Jukka Tervamäki and Eiriavion Oy built a motor glider equipped with retractable Rotax 503 engine. The maiden flight was in October 1976. Prototype JT-6 lead to PIK-20E motor glider production. In all, 103 PIK-20Es were built in Finland and 17 in France.
