Built in 1946, it started life as F-BBYB with STA-Société Transatlantique Aérienne registered in Aug-1946. From Sep-1947 to 1948 it was leased to COSARA in then French Indochina. In Oct-1948 it went to the French Air Force as 222. In 1950 it was delivered to the Yugoslavian Air Force where it was serialled 7208. From 1951 to 1953 it flew temporarily as YU-ACF with JAT. At an unknown date it was converted with P&W R-1340 engines. It made its last flight in 1965 when it flew to Belgrade where it was stored. In Jul-1969 it became part of the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd. Click here for a photo from its earlier life as F-BBYB.

Originally laid down as a 10A for TWA, it was completed as a VI-R and made its first flight 24-Jul-1962 with the test registration F-WJAK. It was delivered to JAT 27-Feb-1963 as YU-AHB and was named "Bled". Its last service was flown 19-April-1976 and in May-1976 it was withdrawn from use and stored at Belgrade. In 1977 it was assigned to the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd and in Sep-1978 its registration was cancelled.

This J-1 Jastreb was built in Jul-1970 as 24115 for the Yugoslav Air Force where it was designated J-21. By 1990 it had been delivered to the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd. There is some uncertainty about the cn, many sources say 015, but the museum says 017. It is listed here as 017.

This HP-43 (Yugoslav designation for the Ka-25PL) was taken on charge by the Yugoslav Air Force as 11323 in Nov-1974. From Apr-1992 it was transferred to the Serbia and Montenegro Air Force. It was withdrawn from use in Aug-1994 and stored at Podgorica-Golubovci. Its last flight was 16-Sep-1998 when it flew to the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd. The "IR" marking stands for Istrazivanje Raznoj and indicates that the aircraft is disarmed according to the Dayton agreement.

This Sealand was registered as G-AKLS in Nov-1947. This was cancelled in Mar-1949 to be sold to Trinidad as VP-TBC but this registration was not taken up. It was again registered G-AKLS in Nov-1950 and cancelled in May-1951. It then was testflown as G-14-2 before being sold to Yugoslavia . In Oct-1951 it was delivered with the ferry registration YU-CFK and on arrival became 0662 with the Air Force. Its last flight was made 18-Dec-1962 and it became part of the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd. Reports that this aircraft flew with JAT as YU-CFK are erroneous.

This J-20 (Yugoslav Air Force designation of the P-2) was manufactured in mid 1977 and entered service as 30148. The specific history of it is currently not known but the J-20 was phased out of operational service in 1989. This one ended up in the storage area of the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd and was seen there in a grey colour scheme with the name "Memphis" painted large on the fuselage and an eagle crest on the fin. It was later repainted in the colours of the character "Dusty Crophopper" of the Disney movie "Planes" ("Avioni" in Serbian) as seen here.

The L-14I (the Yugoslav designation of the MiG-21R) reconnaissance aircraft was in service with the Yugoslav and later the Serbia and Montenegro Air Force from 1968 until 2003. That same year 26105 arrived at the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd.

12013 was built in 1961 and served with the Yugoslav Air Force until withdrawn from use in 1977. It was delivered to the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd on 16 Feb 1977. By looking closely you can still see "013" above the door.

In the Aeronautical Museum's backyard. Jastrebs 23502 and 24410, Oraos 25505 and 25506, and MiG-21 22953 can also be identified.

Part of the outdoor collection of the Aviation museum at Belgrade Airport, this would look so good if fully restored and painted.

JAT stopped flying the Se210 Caravelles in 1976, amazing to see this one is still around.

First flown in 1929, the Fizir FN was a successful Yugoslav training aircraft of which about 200 examples were built. During WWII production at the Zmaj factory in Axis-controlled Zemun, near Belgrade, continued for the Croatian air force. Some ten undelivered aircraft, including this one, were captured by Tito's forces in 1944. 9009 was used by the Yugoslav air force until 1947 and then by the national aero club as YU-CAY until around 1960. Prewar Yugoslav markings are carried.

This Kraguj was delivered to the Yugoslav air force in March 1967, and retired to the Aeronautical Museum in 1985.

First flown in 1940, the Aero 2 trainer was put into production after WWII. From 1959 the air force transferred the type to the national aeronautical sport organization, the VSJ.

This is a Ka-25PL locally known as HP-43. It sports the markings of the Serbia and Montenegro Air Force, that existed from 2003 to 2006.

Obtained by Yugoslavia from England on 17 January 1945. Operated in these markings by a flying school at Zadar. Later YU-CHX.

The S-451 experimental aircraft, piloted in prone position, powered by two small Walter engines, and looking very different from the S-451M jet plane.

Marked '6000 sati naleta' (flying hours).

Yugoslavia obtained 24 Hurricane Is from Hawker by 1940 and had commenced licence production with a similar number competed by the time it was overrun by Axis powers in April 1941. Interestingly one of these was modified by Ikarus at Zemun with a Diamler Benz DB601A engine replacing the RR Merlin, apparently improving performance. The exhibited Mk.IV, built in 1943, flew in the liberation of Yugoslavia with 351 (Y) Sqn RAF, and later became 9539 with the YAF, which operated Hurricanes till 1952

Painted as JK808, but is believed to be ex MH592. This was built in 1943 at Castle Bromwich with factory no. 17-545, flying with 352 (Yugoslav) Sqn RAF in the late part of WWII. Transferred to the newly-formed Yugoslav AF in 1945; serialled 9486 in 1949. Spitfires fitted with cameras remained in Yugoslav use for recon work till 1952. Restored during 1973 by JAT Tehnika as JK808 which museum staff assert is the aircraft's true identity, formerly 9489, but extensive research by specialists suggests it really is MH592
