Photo and description

Near the Ulyanovsk airport is the Museum of the History of Civil Aviation, owned by the Higher Aviation School, on the exhibits of which classes are held for cadets.

The Aviation Museum, opened in 1983 on the territory of the school, today has about nine thousand exhibits, including hundreds of originals, which are monuments of science and technology of Soviet production. In four halls of the main branch museum there is an exhibition illustrating the history of aviation from the period of the Civil War to the present, as well as simulators used for training pilots. As part of the scientific and technical museums of Russia, the Ulyanovsk Aviation Museum in 1989 was awarded the honorary title of "People's Museum".

A designated area at the airport at 17, 5 hectares for stationary aircraft and helicopter parking is a special pride of the museum. Almost all (about forty units) of the flying exhibits reached the history museum on their own. The open-air exposition boasts rare and unique specimens, most of which were produced in a single copy, such as: the Yak-112 aircraft, the MI-1 helicopter, the legendary PO-2, the world's first all-metal aircraft ANT-4, the first domestic passenger aircraft AK-1, aircraft TU-104, TU-114, TU-116 and other equally valuable items.

The museum and its exhibits leave a lot of impressions even for people who have nothing to do with flying, what can we say about children who can sit at the controls of a real plane, touch the blades of a helicopter and see firsthand rare exhibits of civil aviation.
