In particular, presentations on the field of Civil Aviation are appreciated by the visitors. A special section is reserved for Polymath Ahmet Çelebi, who has an important place in the history of Turkish aviation. Models that portray his flight from Galata to Üsküdar color the display cases. A separate part called the “Pilot Lodge” is also created in the museum yard. Visitors can study this area in detail and even gain experience jumping from the tower under the control of teachers.
