Air Force Museum in Monino

In the small village of Monino near Moscow is a museum of the Air Force. This museum contains unique exhibits. From the legendary "Ilya Muromets" and aeronautic devices (stratostats) to modern aircraft. The modern is presented in sufficient detail. weapon Air Force The helicopter fleet of the Air Force is widely represented, including the most powerful helicopter in the world, the B-12. Popular wisdom says: it is better to see once than to hear many times. Please visit the unique museum of the Air Force. Directions simple: Moscow, Yaroslavsky station, stop Monino.
PS Almost all the flying exhibits arrived at the museum on their wings.

I present a brief photo review of the Air Force Museum.

I’ve been there in the 70s when weaving a hundred in the hangar under lock and key. Impression when so many different things at once .... Well, the B-12 is just fantastic.

Been there in the 70s

The head of the Air Force Museum in those years, from 1972 to 1989, was a remarkable person, Lieutenant General of Aviation Sergey Yakovlevich Fedorov. After leaving his post, he remained a guide in it. During its existence, the Air Force Museum was visited by more than 4 million people.

GOOD MUSEUM AND PICTURES ARE GOOD.

Unfortunately, the review is brief. I would like more detail, especially the WWII exposition, at first glance (for some reason?), Its exhibits give the impression of layouts. In any case, thanks to the author.

The exhibits are real, just a person has a good camera and was lucky with the lighting.
Was in this museum the year before last - I really liked it.

The museum is great!

I would like to know what happened to him after the disbandment of the VVA them. Yu. A. Gagarin?
Saved or not?

We still hold on, although the staff has already been cut, made a branch.

Thanks to the author! But, I would like explanations for each photo, it would be more informative and informative.

Does the Moscow Region allocate money for reconstruction? Who knows? Aircraft would not hurt to clean and paint!

As far as I know, the museum does not belong to the RF Ministry of Defense. The Air Force only took patronage over him. And the museum belongs to the Federal State Institution of Culture and Art, the Central Museum of the Air Force.
And the financing is minimal.
Guides are veterans of the Second World War and the Air Force. Already in age.

The museum has its own site monino.ru

The museum has become a branch of the Central Museum of the Armed Forces, and this is fraught with consequences.

Wow, here comes Monino. About half a month ago I was there with a university group, examined the exhibits, listened to the guide, and most importantly, we all had course work on a particular plane :) We watched, told, I liked everything. The exhibits are great there!

It’s a pity that there are no awnings, the cars are in the open sky and how long they will last, even the pictures show the state of the art

Yes, all the same, it’s not California, I would like to hide from the rain. But this is what they did to the airplanes on Khodynka! But there were interesting cars there, and even with a rich past, which came under their own power.

There are several hangars in which there are planes of 1 and 2 world wars.
By the way, a volunteer movement appeared, which tidies the planes, there are several painted ones, including the V-12 rotorcraft (you can see in the picture)
With respect!

Monino is my childhood. When I visit my parents, I greet the "weaving" as an old friend. According to the Second World War there is really quite modest. Mig 3 copy (terrible), I have never seen aerocobras there, in my opinion, also a copy. Pe2, a textbook from the academy, brought to an exhibition state back in Soviet times. Il 2 was taken out of the swamp at 77 and restored, but quite efficiently. The most real exhibit is La-7 Kozheduba.
