About 145 of these army liaison and air ambulance short field aeroplanes were built by Icarus at their Zemun site, the location of Belgrade's international airport. Although no doubt inspired by the Fieseler Storch, it differed in having an all-metal cantilever wing and fuselage. A later development was the Kurir L with a Lycoming engine replacing the Walter Minor. First flown in 1955 and built from 1958-61, it was retired from Yugoslav military service in 1972. As of 2010, one Kurir was registered in the US, one in Croatia and this one in Slovenia.

Paying a nod to the ground-attack jet project jointly developed by Romania and Yugoslavia in the 1970s, this type was produced in the latter country by Soko as the J-22 Orao but despite the location, this is a IAR-93 Vultur built by their Craiova partners. A small number of J-22s are still in service with the Serbian AF

This is actually a Mi-8 obtained from Poland where it served as 640. The Slovenian paintwork is very recent; "Stamostojna" translates as Independent, while "Vrcek" translates as Jug.

I first photographed this Sabre almost exactly 40 years earlier, when it was parked on the grass in camouflage and coded '146' outside Ljubljana-Brnik airport where it had been based. Alongside was the F-84G with which it now shares space in the Pivka museum. The peculiar IF-86D designation was apparently the result of a conversion for reconnaissance in the early 1960s. The restoration in silver colours was completed around 2016

Broadly equivalent to the de Havilland Chipmunk, the Aero 3 first flew in 1956 and from 1958 a total of 110 were built for the Yugoslav AF as primary trainers. They could also be employed in the army co-operation role and served until the mid-1970s when several found their way onto the civil market.

This Thunderjet was allocated US serial 52-2910 on emerging from Republic's Farmingdale facility on Long Island but was suppled under MDAP to the Italian AF. Passing to the Yugoslav AF in 1957, it operated till the beginning of the 1970s and was later placed on outdoor display at Ljubljana airport coded '914', next to the F-86 which is now alongside, another F-86 and a SOKO 522 (near the well-known Adria DC-6). It underwent a five-year restoration from 2008 for the Pivka museum.

When Slovenia gained independence in 1991, this Yugoslav-built Gazelle became its first military aircraft when its pilot defected from Yugoslavia, where it had served from around 1979 as 12660.

This C-47 is preserved near the border between Slovenia and Croatia, where it serves as a monument to a provisional airfield called Piccadilly Hope which was used during World War II to supply partisan troops in their fight against Nazi Germany. Delivered as KG783 to the Royal Air Force in August 1944, it also flew for the French Air Force before it ended up with the Yugoslav Air Force around 1971.
