Amazing museum. They have unique aircraft. It is possible to reach by train from Moscow, but the museum is a bit far from the Monino station. I recommend going by taxi. Not very expensive from Moscow.

(Translated by Google) Inexpressible sensations, contradictory emotions from almost religious awe to horror and compassion, childish delight, pride in compatriot designers, bordering on resentment at the representatives of the country's leadership, from which my heart squeezes - this is what remained in my soul as a gift from visiting the Central Museum of the Russian Air Force ... The beauty of these huge winged machines is breathtaking! Yes, all of them have already flown off their own, and, most likely, none of them will ever take off, but each plane gives a unique feeling of flight to everyone who sees them! Special thanks to the combat pilot Alexey Alexandrovich Drachev for an interesting conversation, energy, love for his profession and his family cars! I strongly advise everyone to visit this place! (Original) Непередаваемые ощущения, противоречивые эмоции от почти религиозного трепета до ужаса и сострадания, детский восторг, гордость за конструкторов-соотечественников, граничащая с обидой на представителей руководства страны , от которой сжимает сердце - вот что осталось в моей душе в подарок от посещения Центрального музея ВВС России. Дух захватывает от красоты этих огромных крылатых машин! Да, все они уже отлетали свое, и, скорее всего, никогда ни одному из них уже не суждено подняться в воздух, но каждый самолет дарит неповторимое чувство полёта всем, кто их видит! Отдельное спасибо боевому летчику Драчеву Алексею Александровичу за интересный разговор, энергетику, любовь к своей профессии и родным ему машинам! Очень всем советую посетить это место!

Absolutely amazing airspace museum. Some of the rarest airplanes made in the Soviet Union and Russia is here. I am highly impressed with the collection and the facts. A bit upset on the upkeep of the planes and artifacts, probably due to funding , and the lack of information and facts on some planes. Otherwise a must visit. But do come in the warm period. I visited in the winter and it was cold but still enjoyable. Would recommend to anybody. Even with children

(Translated by Google) A very cool Museum. It is especially interesting to be here for dads with boys, but the female tribe is also interesting. Eyes run up from different planes, there are a lot of questions (I don't know if there are excursions here). I managed to visit only the open area. The ticket price is 150 rubles for adults, children under 7 years old are free. The closed pavilions are, alas, closed for now .... I will definitely come back here again. (Original) Очень крутой Музей. Особенно интересно здесь побывать папам с мальчиками, но и женскому племени тоже интересно. Глаза разбегаются от разных самолетов, очень много вопросов ( не знаю, есть ли здесь экскурсии ). Удалось побывать только на открытой площадке. Стоимость билета 150 рублей взрослый, дети до 7 лет бесплатно. Закрытые павильоны пока,увы, закрыты.... Обязательно вернусь сюда ещё раз.

Unique museum. Some planes are the last specimen of their type... But their condition..( Feels like bad lack of fundings for that state museum. Anyway certainly worth visiting!

Best air museum i have ever seen. It is bit russian style but it create the right atmosphere. Aviaton fans will enjoy.

Excellent place!! For those who loves aircraft like I do, it’s the paradise! Rare beauties to see 😍

(Translated by Google) There are a lot of planes! There is a separate exhibition of aircraft engines and propellers. Two indoor povilions and one directly open on the pitch. The entire history of the domestic aircraft industry is presented. Interesting for both children and adults (Original) Очень много самолётов! Отдельно есть выставочная экспозиция авиамоторов и винтов. Два крытых повильона и непосредственно открытый на поле. Представлена вся история отечественного авиастроения. Интересно и детям, и взрослым

This place was amazing!

Cool place, interesting for young and adult boys :) there is one big minus-there is no place to eat, so take with you snacks and drinks

For aviation fans (like me) the visit is well worth the travel time to get there from Moscow City: A large selection of Russian military aircraft from between the two world wars to current times. Most of the few indoor exhibits are only with explanations in Russian, most of the outdoor exhibits have English spec sheets, too. The TU-144 is very special to see! We had a great opportunity to enter the fuselage and cockpit of the largest helicopter of the world: A technician let us in through a side door! Impressive!! The entry fee is relatively cheap, the memorabilia shop ok. The lady there very friendly. The travel with the Russian railway from Yaroslavsky station took about an hour and didn't cost much. To the "non-aviation-enthusiast" visitor a warning: The overall maintenance of the place is not exactly outstanding, some of the exhibits are not in a good condition - I guess they're fighting budget problems.

I took the train with some friends out to the Central Air Force Museum (Moscow) to see planes. The museum has lots of older aircraft and I an glade to see they are resorting some too. The signs are small but you can find with a smartphone.

It took a 90 minute train ride and walking a mile to get here, but it was worth it. Some of the most beautiful planes I'll ever see. So happy to know that the Tu-144 is getting a full restoration due to the contributions of visitors. I gladly put 100 rubles in the donation box.

Visited on august 25 2017. Payed 400 roubles for 2. Nice all russian military aircraft. The place is not really well maintained, neither are the planes, except for the tu 144 Worth the long travel from moscow if you are an aviation fan.

This museum owns real wonders of the SSSR-era military aviation, including some aircraft unique in the world like the Myasishshev M-50 and the Sukhoi T-4. Are also present civilian aircraft like the Tupolev Tu-114 prototype and one of the few remaining supersonic Tupolev Tu-144s; you can also see the largest helicopter ever built and a very rare exemplary of the Tu-4 bomber (Soviet copy of the American B-29). The ticket price is very low (200 ₽). Easy to reach by train from Moscow Yaroslavskiy Train Terminal.

(Translated by Google) Very impressive atmosphere, despite the fact that the exhibits are not at their best, I advise you to visit the price tag 150 adults, children are free! (Original) Очень впечатляющая атмосфера, не смотря на то что экспонаты не в лучшем виде, советую посетить ценник 150 взрослый, дети бесплатно!

(Translated by Google) Perfect place. Having been here I just blissed out. You definitely need to visit here when the snow melts and it will be warmer. Aviation is something. Recommend. 20th century, this is the century of aviation, every year from 1 to 3 aircraft were produced, not like now, and what kind. Proud for the USSR. Minus what's going on now, "effective managers" rule. For me, our aviation is in f ** k now, it's a shame. (Original) Отличное место. Побывав здесь просто кайфовал. Однозначно надо здесь побывать, когда сойдёт снег и будет потеплее. Авиация это что-то. Рекомендую. 20 век, это век авиации, каждый год от 1 до 3 самолётов производилось, не то что сейчас, и какие. Горд за СССР. Минус что творится сейчас, " эффективные менеджеры" рулят. По мне наша авиация сейчас в ж**е, обидно.

(Translated by Google) We were impressed, we want to go see it again because we were in October ... cool and hangars were closed. If there are benefits, take your documents with you, there will be a discount on entrance tickets, as well as an entrance price of 150-200 rubles (Original) Остались под впечатлением, хотим ещё раз поехать посмотреть потому как были в октябре...прохладно и ангары были закрыты. Если есть льготы берите с собой документы, будет скидка на входные билеты, а так цена входа 150- 200р

(Translated by Google) A charming employee of the museum kicked out cash registers from the dressing room. It was cold and windy outside. (Original) Очаровательная сотрудница музея выгоняла из предбанника касс. На улице было холодно, ветрено.

(Translated by Google) The museum is super (Original) Музей супер

Educative

(Translated by Google) Many planes have been retired and museumed here. You can also take pictures here while studying history (Original) Banyak pesawat yang dipensiunkan dan dimuseumkan disini. Bisa juga foto-foto disini sambil belajar sejarah

(Translated by Google) Quite a large and interesting museum for aviation lovers. Audio guides have recently appeared for an additional fee, where you can learn basic information about the plane and the history of the plane in front of you. Now about the cons: 1. the state of the aircraft - funding for the museum seems to be very weak; 2. To get of course is far away (conditional minus). Well, in winter you don't walk on an open area for a long time - it's cold. Otherwise, be sure to visit. The staff are great. I would also like to be able to see (visit) the inside of the aircraft (cockpit, cabin). (Original) Довольно большой и интересный музей для болеющих авиацией. Недавно появились аудиогиды за дополнительную плату, где можно узнать о самолёте основную информацию и историю самолёта находящегося перед тобой. Теперь о минусах: 1. состояние самолётов - финансирование музея похоже очень слабое ; 2. Добираться конечно далековато (условный минус). Ну и зимой по открытой площадке долго не проходишь - холодно. А в остальном обязательно к посещению. Персонал отличный. Ещё хотелось бы иметь возможность посмотреть (посетить) внутреннюю часть самолёта (кабины, салона).

(Translated by Google) Cool! Be sure to go (Original) Круто! Обязательно сходите

(Translated by Google) A unique museum. Thanks to the volunteers for helping to preserve it (Original) Уникальный музей. Спасибо волонтерам, что помогают его сохранить

(Translated by Google) I recommend, but due to the crown the hangars are closed. There are quite enough interesting equipment on the street. (Original) Рекомендую, но в связи с короной ангары закрыты. На улице вполне достаточно интерессной техники.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum 👍 My wife and son liked it despite the cold weather. But, it's a pity that you can't see the planes inside 😔 (Original) Хороший музей 👍 Мне, жене и сыну понравилось, несмотря на холодную погоду. Но, жалко что внутри самолёты нельзя посмотреть 😔

(Translated by Google) An excellent museum of military air equipment, showing the former power and potential of the state. Not only galoshes were produced. Must-see, exhibits are conveniently and compactly located, sufficient descriptive part. Didn't get to the museum indoors, was closed without warning on the site. (Original) Отличный музей военно-воздушной техники, показывающий былую мощь и потенциал государства. Не только галоши производили. Обязательно к посещению, удобно и компактно расположены экспонаты, достаточная описательная часть. Не попали в музей в помещении, был закрыт без предупреждения на сайте.

Very interesting place and worth to visit. Mamy interesting pieces of airplanes.

(Translated by Google) Very nice, don't miss it! (Original) Molto bello, da non perdere!

(Translated by Google) Large Museum of Aircraft and Helicopters, impressed! I recommend visiting interesting exhibits of the Soviet aircraft industry with children! (Original) Большой музей самолётов и вертолетов, произвел впечатление! Рекомендую посетить с детьми, интересные экспонаты советского авиастроения!

(Translated by Google) Were on February 23rd. The entrance was free. Very cool (Original) Были 23 февраля. Вход был бесплатный. Очень классно

(Translated by Google) I liked it very much, my son is delighted! We are coming for the second time already, I noticed that he was interested in the planes and began to understand them and tell me! By the third time he will become my personal guide)) (Original) Очень понравилось, сын в восторге! Мы приезжаем второй раз уже, заметила, что его заинтересовали самолеты начал разбираться в них и мне рассказывать! К третьему разу станет моим личным экскурсоводом))

(Translated by Google) Class (Original) Класс

Absolutely great place for everyone who is interested in Russian aircraft and air force history. It's impressive to see the legendary fighters, other planes and helicopters in nature.

A must visit place in Moscow city. It hold almost all aircrafts produced by USSR from the starting of aviation. It really hold aviation history.

Unique piece of history for sure. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Moscow. Huge collection. You can find practically every single military aircraft here spanning from WW1 and ending with modern times. Sadly, underfunded.

(Translated by Google) Now only an open area works, excursions are not conducted. The experience is pleasant, but if you are not a fan, you shouldn't go on purpose (Original) Сейчас работает только открытая площадка, экскурсии не проводят. Впечатления приятные, но если вы не фанат, специально ехать не стоит

(Translated by Google) Incredibly interesting, beautiful in any weather. Have been there several times. I advise you with a guide, there are so many interesting things to learn just by reading the signs (Original) Невероятно интересно, красиво в любую погоду. Были несколько раз. Советую с экскурсоводом, столько интересного не узнать, просто читая таблички

(Translated by Google) The child was very pleased. There are a lot of equipment in hangars, you can walk and see even in winter. Everything is in good condition. There are few visitors now, no one bothers to view the planes. (Original) Ребёнок был очень доволен. Много техники в ангарах, можно погулять и посмотреть даже зимой. Всё в хорошем состоянии. Посетителей сейчас мало, никто не мешает рассмотреть самолёты.

(Translated by Google) You can see what is nowhere else. (Original) Можно посмотреть то, чего больше нигде нет.

Once again good value. Lots to see

By scanning the Satelitte view, I see several additions and relocations since 1993. I also see a B-25...which makes me wonder if thst was the Doolittle Raider from Vladevostok. The only intact of those. As a member of the Pearson Airpark Historical Society, we tried to reacquire it as it really belings in the US..but the USAF managed to bungle that all up, and they refused. As Pearson was part of Russian History, we provided a better chance to get it, but the concern was that, once the aircraft were in our hands, the USAF would commandeer it and the Russians be damned. So looks like now she is left to the harsh Russian winters to see her end

The Central Air Force Museum is an aviation museum in Monino, Moscow Oblast, Russia. A branch of the Central Armed Forces Museum, it is one of the world's largest aviation museums, and the largest for Soviet aircraft, with a collection including 173 aircraft and 127 aircraft engines on display. The museum also features additional displays, including Cold War-era American espionage equipment, weapons, instruments, uniforms, artwork, and a library containing books, films, and photos is also accessible to visitors. The Central Air Force Museum is located on the grounds of the Gagarin Air Force Academy on the site of the former Monino Airfield, 40 kilometers (25 mi) east of Moscow. The origins of the museum go back to 1940 when the village of Monino was selected to be the location of the Gagarin Air Force Academy. The museum itself was founded in 1958, two years after the airfield was closed, and had 6 aircraft and 20 aircraft guns at the time. When it opened to the public another two years later in 1960, it had 14 aircraft. By early 1970, the museum's collection had expanded to about 40 aircraft. In 1990, the aircraft on display were rearranged according to design bureau and chronological order. The museum's main hall was mostly destroyed by fire in 2005. By 2013, a new hangar had been built to house the World War II aircraft. In 2016, it was reported that the museum was to close, with the exhibits being transferred to Patriot Park. Prior to 1999, the museum was closed to the public, because of the display of classified prototypes from the era of the former Soviet Union.[citation needed]. Today, the museum contains a range of aircraft, both domestic and foreign, including military, civil and special purpose. The museum also houses associated pieces, such as the uniforms, documents, models and equipment related to the aircraft. The museum is currently open to members of the public to visit.

Great and unique place for aviation lovers. I think this is the only museum which has so many civil and military aircrafts in one place.

(Translated by Google) Interesting devices, but mostly rusty and oxidized. (Original) Интересные аппараты, но уже ржавые и окисленные большей частью.

(Translated by Google) At the weekend I visited this museum, I really liked the emotions at the height, I recommend it to everyone !!! (Original) На выходных посещали сей музей очень понравилось эмоции на высоте всем рекомендую!!!

(Translated by Google) A very interesting museum, there is a convenient parking lot, a large territory of the museum itself, many exhibits. (Original) Очень интересный музей, есть удобная парковка, большая территория самого музея, много экспонатов.

(Translated by Google) Now only open exposition works (Original) Сейчас работает только открытая экспозиция

(Translated by Google) Awesome place (Original) Улётное место

Many kind of Russian's airplane technology, civil & military ...

Largest helicopter every made. Enough said. Hundreds of other unique aircraft.

It's a must see for everyone. There are lots of unique Soviet and Russian planes, even experimental ones. One of the best I've been

Great place with the unique displays!

Fantastic Museum if you've any interest in Aviation and Soviet history.

(Translated by Google) Very informative. But it is better to visit in the summer. Snow interferes with detailed viewing. (Original) Очень познавательно. Но лучше посещать летом. Снег мешает детальному просмотру.

If you're into aircraft, this is a must see if your in Moscow. Hiring a guide ( an ex airforce English speaking pilot) was worth the money. Russian tech is every bit impressive as that in the west. Amazing place.

(Translated by Google) I dreamed of getting there since childhood, I got ... Even not impressed. Apparently the home museum in the village. Safonovo interrupted all expectations (Original) Мечтал попасть с детства, попал... Чёт не впечатлился. Видимо домашний музей в пос. Сафоново перебил все ожидания

(Translated by Google) Atmospheric museum, wonderful display (Original) Атмосферный музей, прекрасная экспозиция

(Translated by Google) An excellent, very interesting exposition from a small MI-2 to a huge TU 144. Some of the exhibits are in storage. Unique pieces of equipment, the most striking, in my opinion, is "Ilya Muromets". I recommend it to all history and aviation lovers. There is parking. Discounts for preferential categories. It's a pity, there is no cafe, wardrobe, almost nowhere to sit to rest. (Original) Отличная, очень интересная экспозиция от маленького МИ-2 до огромного ТУ 144. Часть экспонатов в запасниках. Уникальные образцы техники, наиболее ярким, на мой взгляд, является "Илья Муромец". Рекомендую всем любителям истории и авиации. Есть парковка. Скидки льготным категориям. Жаль, нет кафе, гардероба, почти негде сесть отдохнуть.

(Translated by Google) The Aviation Museum is super! God grant further development. History is priceless! Young people like it, and this is very important !!! (Original) Музей Авиации супер! Дай бог дальнейшего развития. История бесценна! Молодёжи нравится, а это очень важно!!!

(Translated by Google) Very rare exhibits that you will not see anywhere else)) (Original) Очень редкие экспонаты которые вы нигде больше не увидите))

(Translated by Google) Very interesting place (Original) Очень интересное место

(Translated by Google) Very cool. Almost the entire history of Russian aircraft construction. Interesting and informative. I advise. (Original) Очень круто. Практически вся история отечественного самолетострония. Интересно и познавательно. Советую.

(Translated by Google) A large exposition, there is something to see for fans of the sky. It is advisable to come in summer (Original) Большая экспозиция, есть что посмотреть, для фанатов неба. Желательно приезжать летом

(Translated by Google) It's great, who breathes unevenly to aircraft equipment, I recommend. (Original) Здорово, кто неровно дышит к авиатехнике рекомендую.

(Translated by Google) Interesting opinion, excellent guides, I highly recommend taking a guide, you will learn a lot of interesting things (Original) Интересное мнение, прекрасные гиды, очень рекомендую брать именно гида, узнаете много интересных вещей

(Translated by Google) Great museum. (Original) Отличный музей.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful museum. It will be interesting for both adults and children. You will be able to see rare exhibits and wonders of aviation engineering !!! Fly in the ointment is that the museum staff work on sheer enthusiasm for scanty salaries, while doing a very important job and educating young people !!! It is a shame to pay such a penny in our rich country with so many resources and oligarchs. (Original) Замечательный музей. Здесь будет интересно и взрослым и детям. Вы сможете увидеть редкие экспонаты и чудеса авиационной инженерии!!! Ложка дёгтя состоит в том, что сотрудники музея работают на голом энтузиазме за мизерные зарплаты, делая при этом очень важную работу и просвещая молодёжь!!! Стыдно платить такие копейки в нашей богатой стране имея столько ресурсов и олигархов.

(Translated by Google) Great museum! Be sure to go with children! (Original) Отличный музей! Обязательно идти и с детьми!

(Translated by Google) Thanks to all the museum staff !!! Very nice people and a nice atmosphere. (Original) Спасибо всем работникам музея!!!Очень приятные люди и атмосфера прикрасная.
