Our memory. Air Force Museum in Monino. Part of 1
We continue to acquaint readers with the memorable places of our stories. Our material is about the Museum of the Air Force in Monino.
The museum itself consists of several expositions. The first is in the museum itself. There are engines, weapons and communication models. The second - in the hangar near the museum. Soviet aircraft of the Great Patriotic War. The third is an open area where the main majority of the museum’s exhibits are located. And the fourth - a hangar with particularly valuable exhibits on the edge of the exhibition field.
In the first part of our narration, we will introduce you to the exhibits of the museum itself and the hangars. In the second - with an exhibition in the open.

Next we go to the hangar, which shows our winning aircraft. And the exhibition is good, albeit few, unfortunately, but there is a zest. These are guides. Not to tell about them separately is a crime. Unlike many museums, they are not middle-aged women of intelligent appearance and with a correctly delivered speech. Not.
These are two strong grandfathers with colonel manners. The fact that they did not spin the tails of the aircraft, it is clear at first glance. But on what flew - that is another question. Age obviously peers exhibits. Well, maybe a little younger. But strong.
On that day, when we were in the museum, three buses were brought there with pupils of elementary grades in accordance with the presidential program of patriotic education. So we also watched the program in action. How these guides were holding a herd of schoolchildren in their hands, it's nice to see.
And, by the way, their speech was not memorized, like that of ordinary museum workers. These were the stories of people who understood what they were talking about, and most importantly, they sincerely adored the subject of their story. Unforgettable impressions of how they speak.
And Roman Junior miraculously dodged a duralumin pointer, which one of the guides didn’t stretch it along his back. In order not clever and not confused under their feet.
