Museum of the Civil Aviation History. More.
There won’t be any more helicopters, but there’s still plenty to see ahead.

For example, the very comfortable Il-62, which I was lucky enough to fly on.
I can’t even count how many times I’ve flown the Tu-154.
Actually, there are two of them here, but I didn’t take a photo of the second one because it was duplicated.
For some reason, I have unfairly ignored the Tu-134, an equally deserving aircraft.
The presence of ramps on some aircraft suggests that it’s possible to get inside, but when and how is unclear.
I only flew the Yak-42 once.
but on the Yak-40 a million times (relatively speaking).
There are two more of them here in different liveries.
Why are we only talking about jet engines? Let’s take a look at propeller engines too.
Although, of course, we should have started with the Il-14,
especially since there are two of them here.
And go in order of growth
to a super-duper huge belly.
The contrast is indicative and expressive.
Now, hop-hop along the path — run!
Either this plane is parked without a plaque, which is not good, or I was running around there drooling with delight and didn’t notice it.
Literally and figuratively, in the shadow of its larger sibling, stands a light aircraft, almost invisible and previously unseen by me.
There are also a few military aircraft here.
It’s clear that they’re all a bit military here, but these are downright combative.
If you can stick your phone through a loosely covered bomb bay and take a photo, then why not do it?
There are also training and combat aircraft.
And it’s good that they couldn’t do without the “corn duster”!
Walking along this path past the checkpoint, I almost went outside in the rush, but then I came to my senses and continued exploring.
They have more equipment in stock and in preparation.
This is clearly the world-famous Soviet biplane, the Po-2.
And this one, obviously Antonov, one could have guessed the specifics, but since they want to remain incognito, then who am I to interfere?
Here, away from the main routes of the museum, are aircraft from former socialist countries.
I must say that I made a couple more laps around the area just for myself: without taking photos, just enjoying these perfect creations of human genius.
I offer you a few scenic photos not used in the report.
and a couple of panoramas, so that if you don’t repeat my relaxation, you could at least feel its emanation.
P.S. Generally, such sites should be visited twice a day: before lunch and after – to capture all angles without interference from the sun.
