State Museum of Aviation of Ukraine

This technical museum, the youngest and largest in Ukraine, was open on September 30, 2003.

At present irs exposition of the aircraft, located on the territory of more than 20 hectares, displays about 70 planes and helicopters that were adopted in the Air Force of the USSR and later of the independent Ukraine, and also those that were engaged in the civil air fleet. All exhibits are grouped into special collections: the “corporate” ones exhibiting the aircraft createdat definite design bureau, historical, and topical (e.g. “Naval Aviation”). Of special interest is a unique, having no analogues in the world, “Backfire Collection” that includes all models of the strategic rocket plane Ty-22M, the heaviest battle plane of the Ukraine’s Air Force, and its basic armament – the X-22 cruise missiles capable to carry nuclear war-heads.

It is possible not only to view the aircraft from the outside, but to get into the cockpit and the passenger cabin, and also to see a so–called “black box” (flight recorder).

Special services are available for the lovers of extreme and military tourism: out-of-town actions with parachute jumping (under supervision of an instructor), flying in the sporting aeroplanes, firing and military games.
