  Музей довольно таки любопытный. Много интересных и редких экспонатов. Их много,но все таки два ангара,на мой взгляд маловато будет для такого количества экспонатов.  more »

  The museum is quite curious. Lots of interesting and rare exhibits. They are many, but still two hangars, in my opinion is not enough for such a number of exhibits.

  Nice museum, not the biggest in space but surprisingly much crammed in it. A large variety of planes and even a couple of helicopters. Nicely used different props like airport stairs to get up to a balcony of smaller things. A nice little gift shop with things to buy as memorabilia.
