Location: garrison "Severny
The Museum of Military Transport Aviation was opened on August
14, 1984 on the territory of the 610th Center for combat use and
retraining of flight personnel of the military transport aviation of
the Air Force, located at the Severny airfield in Ivanovo.
The museum building itself is of a historical nature - the now
legendary fighter squadron of the French Normandie-Niemen pilots was
formed in it. This is attested on a memorial plaque at the entrance
to the museum.
In the four halls of the Museum there is an
exposition covering the history of the regiments and formations of
the Military Transport Aviation: documents, maps, historical
photographs, aircraft models, radio stations, instrument panels,
weapons, and so on.
The exposition is currently presented
both in the halls of the museum and on the open area of the
airfield.

were at various times in service with the military transport
aviation of the USSR and Russia are freely available: Il-14, An-2,
