  1. Not at all, just go there and buy your ticket like anybody else. And no need to spend money on an organized tour, public transportation is fun, convenient and cheap 🙂

  2. Again took the kids with me yesterday to visit Kubinka's Park Patriot, nicknamed "The Russian Military Disneyland" by western media. Easy to access using public transportation the place was almost empty during morning. The place is huge, I mean HUGE and we rented bicycles to move around and avoid waiting the shuttle buses every time. The aviation collection is of course not comparable to Monino, yet the fact that there are no fences and that you can touch the aircraft makes it a quite unique experience. There are a lot of ladders and stairs around the tanks and some planes, it allowed to take pictures from different angles and elevations, enjoy!

    Based on what you said, I suspect (while it still survives) it would probably be a good idea to still contact them prior to visits. Which reminds me, I really need to go visit again as time seems to be running out. I go to Russia at least once a year and have been doing so since around 1999, but somehow only went to Monino once...

    As a foreigner living in Moscow I can assure you that this is not the case anymore, last week I met French and Spanish visitors who came on their own like myself.

  4. Thank you for the insight Ya-gabor,

     

    I visited Park Patriot yesterday and I have mixed feelings now. I love Monino and have a lot of respect for the volunteers, but Park Patriot is modern with all the required amenities, the place is huge and more suitable for large displays. And you can touch the frames!

    All I can say is thank you very much for taking the time to post these gorgeous pictures. It's not often one gets to see this number of Russian aircraft. Would where you took pictures be the equivalent of the US Air Force Museum?

    I have never been there so I can not answer, I am more into russian hardware 😋

    Great photos dawestsides.....

     

    Good to know that stories about the demise of Monino are untrue - it still looks great.

    I've heard the same rumors about a possible transfer to the recently opened Patriot Park in Kubinka, but I highly doubt it, it would be too costly. Yesterday the museum was buzzing with activity, a lot of volunteers were there (see scaffolding on the Mi-12 pics).
