The Vintage Aircraft Flight services some rare aircraft and maintains them in an airworthy condition. These aircraft are not normally accessible by the general public. Large transport aircraft are stored on the apron of the airbase due to lack of space. These aircraft are displayed only on the annual Air Force Day, October 8. The museum has a small souvenir shop.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/Museum/Palam/index.html|title=Indian Air Force Museum, Palam, Delhi|publisher=[[Bharat Rakshak]]|date=|accessdate=13 April 2012|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120410233124/http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/Museum/Palam/index.html|archivedate=10 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.globalaviationresource.com/reports/2009/iafmuseum090228.php |title=Indian Air Force Museum, Palam, New Delhi |publisher=Global Aviation resource |date= |accessdate=13 April 2022}}</ref>
