Pictured languishing on the Monino dump/storage area.

VTOL research aircraft of the 1960s - the last survivor of four "Freehands" built.

The MiG-9 'Fargo' was the first turbojet fighter developed by Mikoyan-Gurevich in the years immediately after WWII. It was moderately successful with 610 built but suffered from persistent problems with engine flameouts when firing its guns at high altitudes due to gun gas ingestion. In the end the newly developed MiG-15 proved to have better performance so further development was stopped. An example of this important milestone in the history of Soviet aviaton is on display at the Central Museum of the Air Forces at Monino.

The Su-7B was the main Soviet ground-attack aircraft of the 1960s. this example is on display at the Central Museum of the Air Forces at Monino.

Note the extra cockpit window in the Russian-built DC-3. In addition to building perhaps 5000 Li-2s, the Soviet Union received 700 C-47s during WWII. It also got 870 B-25s, one of which is seen in the background.

The Yak-141 'Freestyle was intended as a supersonic, VTOL aircraft for air defence of the Soviet fleet. Four prototypes were produced before the program was cancelled with this example making the first (conventional) flight and the first vertical landing on a carrier. It is now on display at the Central Museum of the Air Forces at Monino.

This B-25 Lend-lease survivor from the Great Patriotic War is on display at the Central Museum of the Air Forces at Monino.

This is a airborne command variant of the Hook (-D) with SLAR (side looking airborne radar) and is on display at the Central Museum of the Air Forces at Monino.

This Cub was built in 1958 and was subsequently operated by the Soviet Air Force until 1964, totalling 818 hours and 562 cycles. It has been displayed in the Air Force museum at Monino since July 1973.

The Mil V-12 (NATO reporting name Homer) is the largest helicopter ever built and this example is the second prototype and last built of the type (sometimes incorrectly quoted as c/n 002). In 1975 it went on display at Monino without any registration (actual operational registration is unknown). In 2012 it was falsely painted as seen here, with the registration of the first prototype (which was still preserved at the MVZ im. Milya factory at Tomilino by 2018).
Both prototype V-12s outperformed their design specifications and set numerous world records which still stand today, Despite these achievements the Soviet Air Force refused to accept the helicopter and all development on the V-12 was stopped in 1974.

The final variant of the DB-3 medium bomber was designated Il-4.

Its unswept long-span wing is not very apparent here, but the Yak-25RV Mandrake is a special reconnaissance variant of the Yak-25 which could climb to altitudes of over 21 km (68,900 ft).

This Hound has recently acquired a new paint job and is on display at the Central Museum of the Air Forces at Monino.

This 21bis was the ultimate development of the Fishbed and this example is on display at the Central Museum of the Air forces at Monino.

This Camp was built in September 1959 and has been part of the Central Museum of the Air Forces at Monino since May 1976.

The Brewer-E was first deployed in 1970 and it is notable as the first Soviet electronic countermeasures (ECM) aircraft. Unfortunately, for the time being at least, this example languishes on the Monino dump/storage area.

The Hind-E was the most widely produced version of the Mi-24 with more than 1,500 made. This example has recently been refurbished and is on display at The Central Museum of the Air Forces at Monino.

This is one of two V-44s delivered to the Soviet Union as a result of Eisenhower's visit in 1959. This interesting piece of Cold War history is on display at the Central Museum of the Air Forces at Monino.

The An-14 Pchyelka (Little Bee) could carry nine passengers. It first flew in 1958 but did not enter service until 1965. 340 examples were built, and this is one of the few survivors. Formerly CCCP-81553.
