This An-2 served with the Bulgarian AF since 1958, mainly to train paratroopers. This particular example is a An-2M and so was not used for parachute training, rather for liaison and support duties. It was first noted in 1991 and came to the museum in 1993.

This Hound was originally delivered to the Bugarian Navy as TA 44/7202 based at Chaika / Varna (LBWC). At some point it transferred over to the Air Foce and was based at the Krumovo Air Base adjacent to Plovdiv (LBPD). The unfortunate helicopter is now derelict in the museum storage area.

The MiG-19 served in the Bulgarian AF from 1958 to late 1978/early 1979, however, the type wasn't particularly liked as it suffered from poor engine reliability. All 12 of the MiG-19PMs were delivered brand new in 1959 with this example preserved in a (un-named?) park in the village centre.
