The museum was created by the president of the airline Rolim Adolfo Amaro and his brother Joã o Francisco Amaro, who is the president of the museum. The collection began in 1996, when the Amaro brothers decided to buy several aircraft models that became classics of aviation for trips with friends on weekends. This idea resulted in the opening in 2006 of the aviation museum in one of the buildings belonging to the airport in San Carlos. Then the exposition of the museum contained 32 aircraft, today there are more than 80.
The Aviation Museum is very popular. There are always many visitors, there are excursions for children. The museum is located 15 kilometers from the center of San Carlos and 250 kilometers from Sao Paulo.
