A Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star is also on display - probably gifted by Pakistan Air Force (PAF) for the museum.

Is this place open to public? Would like to visit on my next trip home. Address?

[Abbas Ali]

^ I think it's being prepared for an official opening. I hope general public is allowed to visit and especially photograph beautifully displayed helicopters.

It's located on Brigadier Amjad Chaudhry Road before Lahore Garrison Golf & Country Club and is not very far from Lahore Airport Hajj Lounge.

Saw the Army museum yesterday and its being prepared to be opened for general public. Tanks and Helicopters are being painted to be given a fresh look, helicopters look amazing. There is one aircraft (propellor) on display as well but couldn't figure out which which it was as i saw the museum from distance.

^ maybe Pakistan Army Cessna O-1 Bird Dog?

There's also a T-33 or RT-33 (probably gifted by PAF) and maybe Pakistan Army Lama.

From the images that I have searched over the web, it looked like to be T-33, but I'm not too sure. Pakistan Army Lama was also there covered with dust, i think its awaiting its paint job. Cant wait to go there!
