Zhulaniy Museum, Kiev


Recommended Posts

Another great museum of Russian/Soviet aircraft is the 'Oleg Antonov State Aviation Museum' at Zhulaniy, Kiev.

 

I've been a few times in previous years, but visited again in early August 2018 to see the latest exhibit - the Antonov An-71 'Madcap' AWACS aircraft recently moved in from Gostomel....
