The UT Administration is likely to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Indian Air Force (IAF) for setting up a vintage aircraft museum at Government Press Building on August 27.

The IAF will showcase vintage aircraft, including Dakota and armaments at the museum. There will also be a flight simulator at the museum. There will also be audio video galleries and a space for showcasing documentaries related to the IAF history.

The museum will bring greater awareness in the region, particularly among children, about the role and contribution of the IAF.

After closing down the building in 2019, the UT Administration then decided to set up a vintage car museum there. After the UT Administration failed to get any response even after floating tenders twice, it was decided to convert the museum into an IAF vintage museum.
