The Douglas C-54 was flown to Tempelhof by the US Air Force in 1971. Until the mid-1990s, it stood near Columbiadamm on the airport's outdoor grounds as a reminder of the Berlin Airlift.
The C-54 aircraft type formed the backbone of the Berlin Airlift in 1948/49, during which the western sectors of divided Berlin were supplied from the air
After the Allies withdrew from Berlin, the Deutsches Technikmuseum took over responsibility for the aircraft, which is now part of its collection. A second C-47 type raisin bomber hangs on the facade of the museum in Berlin-Kreuzberg.

The IL-14 is a Soviet short- and medium-range aircraft that made its maiden flight in 1950. Eighty aircraft were manufactured under license by VEB Flugzeugwerke Dresden by the end of 1958, including the museum aircraft. It was restored by a team of volunteers between spring 2006 and summer 2025. The exterior of the aircraft has been restored; only some of the interior fittings are present. The cockpit for a camera is located under the fuselage. The IL-14 spent most of its operational history as a camera plane. It was used by the NVA and the state-owned company Interflug.

The aircraft is a complete reconstruction based on the remains of an Fw 200 that the German Museum of Technology recovered from a fjord in Norway in the late 1990s. The Fw 200 aircraft model was developed in 1936/37 as a commercial aircraft for Lufthansa and was also used for military purposes during the Second World War. The aircraft type gained particular notoriety in 1938 with the first non-stop flight of a land-based commercial aircraft from Berlin to New York. On the return flight, the aircraft landed at Tempelhof Airport.
The Fw 200 can currently only be rented in the hangar and under the covered apron.
