One of a handful of MiG-21bis aircraft were locally modified to carry a reconnaissance pod. These aircraft were known in Finland as MiG-21bis/T. The 'T' stands for 'Tiedusteluversio', meaning 'Reconnaissance Version'). This version can be identified by the small pods on the wing tips and radar warning receivers in the top of the tail.

DK-227 was one of the few remaining Drakens with the huge serial and roundel back in May 1990. Sadly these markings were soon be be replaced by a small black serial on the nose, as well as a much reduced roundel.

The maiden flight of the German Hansa Brandenburg W.33 float monoplane was in October 1918. Only seven aircraft were delivered before end of the WWI. The Finnish Air Force bought the licence to build W.33s in May 1921. The State Aircraft Factory built 120 I.V.L. A 22 Hansas. Two of them were sold to Latvia. The Finnish Air Force used aircraft as a reconnaissance aircraft, a bomber and a trainer until 1935. The aircraft is only one of the type remaining in the world.

The maiden flight of the German Hansa Brandenburg W.33 float monoplane was in October 1918. Only seven aircraft were delivered before end of the WWI. The Finnish Air Force bought the licence to build W.33s in May 1921. The State Aircraft Factory built 120 I.V.L. A 22 Hansas. Two of them were sold to Latvia. The Finnish Air Force used aircraft as a reconnaissance aircraft, a bomber and a trainer until 1935. The aircraft is only one of the type remaining in the world.

Valmet developed all-metal Vihuri at the beginning of the 1950s to substitute VL Pyry advanced trainers. A total of 51 Vihuris were produced 1951-1957. It was the main advanced trainer and the most flown type during the 1950s. It was involved in a number of accidents. That led to a press campaign which quickened its withdrawal from service in 1959. Most of the Vihuris were scrapped in 1960. The cabin part of the VH-25 was found from a scrap yard in Helsinki at the beginning of the 1970s.
