Tools for this tag

A tag for a decommissioned aircraft which has become a tourist attraction, a museum exhibit or a gate guardian. The aircraft will generally remain in one place. This applies to both military and non-military aircrafts.

If the aircraft is a memorial to an event, historic=memorial + memorial=aircraft can also be used.

Examples:

  • Technik-Museum Speyer [1]
  • Imperial War Museum, Duxford [2]
  • Concorde at Brooklands Museum, London [3]

Warnings

  • It may be tempting to tag building=* on any stationary aircraft, given the relatively poor renderer support for historic= areas. However, this is a stretch of the key's intended meaning that is often frowned upon because it causes some data consumers to make incorrect assumptions. [4] There is such a thing as an airplane house (analogous to a houseboat), so it is best to keep a clear distinction between these dwellings and other aircraft that happen to be stationary.
  • Occasionally, decommissioned aircraft are used to commemorate people or events, which can be indicated by a name or an inscription somewhere on the installation. In this case, historic=memorial can be used. Do not tag aircraft that commemorate nothing as memorials.
  • For decommissioned, static, non-historic aircraft, use man_made=aircraft

How to map

Mark a node on the location of the aircraft and tag it as historic=
